GM: Tim Hutchings
Players: Stras Acimovic, Karen Twelves, Quigly, Stephanie Nudelman
System: Salt and Glass (a Desperation game)
Tim made a desperation game with the trappings of Mad Max and the tone of The Road. Our religious fanatics and desert scavengers eventually made it to the beachside transfer station only to find a rusting husk alongside a salt coast where the sea was only a memory. We strayed off, we crashed our rigs, we lost ourselves to desperation, but in the end, just a few of us survived.
The game had a few body horror elements around teeth and eyes that I preemptively asked to have removed. Luckily those didn’t impact the game, but knowing that someone would have to search for those cards to remove them if I played it again meant I probably wouldn’t play it again. That’s a shame because, as it was, this was my best experience with the Desperation engine. I loved watching our tortured souls scrape by on nothing but salt and broken glass.
