Review: Thirsty Sword Lesbians

Thirsty Sword Lesbians by April Kit Walsh is a game that lets you know exactly what you’re getting from the title. Going into our sessions, no one was surprised to be a lesbian with a sword who was looking for something more; whether that be action, the other type of action, or just a sweet date. The game gives you an exciting premise and lets you run with it in any setting you can imagine.

Descent Into Midnight

Every opportunity we’ve had to play this amazing game has been an incredible amount of fun. Like in Numenera, it’s a place where we find our imaginations going wild, and what better place to do that then under the sea. We were lucky to have one of the game’s creators run it for us! Descent Into Midnight is coming to Kickstarter on February 15, 2020, so be sure to be there! You can check out the pre-launch page here!

A community of undersea creatures must deal with the complicated nature of the home they have chosen for themselves and their place as part of a greater whole.
