GM: Rob Bohl
Players: Sophie Lagacé, Edmund Metheny, Sean Nittner
System: Demihumans
Demihumans is an Apocalypse World hack where the apocalypse is the death of everything and everyone magical in a fantasy human empire.
In the game, you play a group of people living in an enclave; a place within a human-controlled city where non-human people are allowed to live, and perhaps gain some autonomy. You’re the movers and shakers of the enclave. The citizens of note who are trying to keep the place alive in the face of inevitable doom.
Play this game if you love exploring culture, if you love the nonhuman species that have become popular since Tolkien and adventure gaming became popular, if you like to daydream about what their cultures would be like and want to play some of your dreams out, if you want to experience catharsis by striking back against the oppression and marginalization that plagues our real world, if you want to play a game where imperialism and policing are a bigger concern than demons and monsters, if you want to imagine an apocalypse where people are building something and not just lamenting the collapse, if you want to play out the life of a small town and see how it tries to survive against unimaginable pressure, if you want a fantasy version of Apocalypse World, or if you like the fluff of the popular adventure games but are not interested in the stories that come naturally in a dungeon.
