Description:

This scenario takes place within the mind of a woman who had a “grey zone” sexual encounter with her partner last night. Each player portrays one of the quarrelling voices inside her head.

What, exactly, happened last night? Who is to blame? What should she do? Come to a decision before it’s time to get up and the alarm rings.

I will be your facilitator, but there is no traditional GM. *This module is written about a heterosexual couple with a female protagonist.

From the editors of the #FEMINISM anthology:

“We are feminists who believe that the culture we consume can help us begin to undo the harms
of sexism. And yet, that is difficult when our culture and its consumption is steeped in it. In the
literary world, there is an old adage that books about men speak to “humanity” while books
about women are “for women.”

It’s true in the world of roleplaying games too. Scenarios about five men doing, well, nearly
anything, get labeled as “great games,” while scenarios that focus on women’s experiences are
“for women.” We want to expand the designation of “great games” to include works that speak
to our own lived experience. Feminism belongs in analog game design because women are
human too. We produced this collection to highlight feminist voices and to create space for
explicitly feminist design.”
