A POWERED-BY-THE-APOCALYPSE TRAGEDY · 5–10 SESSIONS

A MONTH ON THE
WRONG PATH.

Digital Sissy is a tabletop game about a twenty-something woman named Alex, the bad month she's having on the Gulf Coast, and the people in her life who might keep her from croaking. This page is the world she lives in and the documents you'll need to play it.

); } function Premise() { return (

ALEX IS GOING UNDER. THE PCs ARE EVERYONE WHO COULD STILL CATCH HER.

Alex is a fixed NPC. The campaign is the month she has left — a sister, a friend, an ex, a boss, a neighbor. Whoever the PCs are, they know her name. Your job is to make that name cost something. The ending is not promised.

The world she lives in sucks. The people inside it do too.

Five to ten sessions, PbtA core, 2d6 + stat.

ONE DROP.
TWENTY MINUTES OF WARMTH.
BLUE STARS AT THE EDGE OF VISION.

An eye-drop dose. Cheap. Everywhere. Twenty minutes of warm, then an hour of blue points at the corners of your sight that nobody else can see. Coming down costs everyone in the room. The craving comes back twelve hours later.

Glitter is the engine of the season. Becky has a tin of it in her purse. Jaw-man's people move it. Mom's boyfriend uses, quietly. Most of Blueville pretends not to know.
