While this game was a hard sell to my regular group, it has become a fovorite to the majority of the group. Given the number of really deep sessions I've run, I often forget that this game is still in development. Given how solid it is already, I'm really excited to see what comes next. To be clear, the players are not playing as bad asses with cool powers or cutting edge gear, they are playing as marginalized teenage girls who get in over their heads for the sake of taking freedom for themselves in a world that would have them subjugated - by their parents, by the adults in their lives, by men.
So far, I've run the game successfully for my regular game group, my adult and a couple other friends, and for a group at GenCon who were all friends who had signed up together. While I think having a group of players who all know each other and have history together can certainly help when delivering the intense misogyny and exploitation that is inherently built into this game, it could very easily be played as Warriors or The Outsiders with a cast of young women.
