I have just been destroyed by Daniel Mason’s North Woods, a book with so many things I love including the inevitable passage of time, the land and landscapes being essential to the story, maybe ghosts, yearning, beetles, a story told in many ways, yearning, trees, ugh it was great

One of the neatest things about Thinly Veiled is how it changes the patriarchy slider in the collaboration phase to include other systems of oppression and how present they are in the story. A really neat thing I hope to see more Penned to the Good Society games do!
