I feel like every RPG lately is either some dingy medieval thing called like BLOODRIVEN: FABLES OF HELLMOUTH or inane cutesy anime dross. May we have... something in between, perhaps? A story with adult themes and dialogue that isn't just hacking things to bits in the dark?

To be honest it wouldn't surprise me if Janelle Monae really has worked out time travel and chose to share that breakthrough in an interview with Lucy Dacus, I don't think there's anything they can't do
