PALLAS by Genderphage Games

a surrealist Austen-esque Social TTRPG in an endless Borgesian Palace of Dreams

Do you like Jane Austen? Or maybe you're a fan of Susanna Clarke's Piranesi? Are you into surrealist fantasy of manners, infinite houses and god like beings that deal in the arts? Boy, do I have the perfect ttrpg for you, may I present PALLAS! My friend @genderphage and I just published PALLAS, the Sparked by the Resistance game we've been working on since 2021, and I couldn't be more proud of the finished game! The final version is 76 pages long and includes eight playable professions, four family backgrounds, five patron types and much, much more! (Also I think it's gorgeous, but I may be partial)

Look at this gorgeous art nouveau inspired layout with many public domain illustrations, there's so much art in this game! This is a game About art! About being a struggling artist at the whims of the powerful!

Women stick thin and malnourished on the red carpet, and people are saying you can't point out that these women are dying because that's body shaming. Girl.

I always see people talk about Laika the space dog, but never the other dogs Russia sent up.

So here's an appreciation piece for Strelka and Belka, the first higher beings to be sent into orbit and come back alive.

... and then her words were drowned by the most blood-curdling scream I have ever heard. It came from the savage throat of the tharban at the instant it sprang toward the basto. The latter beast, lumbering to its feet, was caught at a disadvantage. The tharban leaped full upon its back, sinking talons and fangs deep into the tough flesh. The bellowing of the basto mingled with the roars and growls of the tharban in a hideous diapason of bestial rage that seemed to rock the forest.

"Veganism is anti-Indigenous" is a talking point non-Indigenous people use to avoid accountability, and it's literally the noble savage trope. It assumes we all hunt and fish, erasing Indigenous vegans, plant-based traditions, AND the fact that the meat and dairy industry is actively destroying Indigenous lands, waters, and food systems. Using us as a shield while buying your meat from the grocery store is tokenism. We're not your excuse.

"But what about-" what about them? Are YOU them? Is that YOUR case? If not, then stop using them as an excuse for why you walk past the black beans, tofu, lentils, and other affordable plant-based protein options in your grocery store to get your overpriced ground beef from a corporation that's destroying the Amazon rainforest to mass produce the cows yall can't stop eating.
