SHAKEN AS WE ARE
THE YEAR IS 2060. Mandatory genetic screening has been in effect for over sixty years. Every day, all over the world, children testing positive for the genetic phenotypes associated with homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality are removed from their parents and relocated to walled-off sub-districts of major cities by the global theocracy. Families are destroyed, lives irrevocably altered. Within the Districts, LGBT individuals are governed by a set of restrictions and privileges bestowed based on their socioeconomic status. Some are apathetic, some despair, some are even reasonably content -- and some are angry. Very angry. Maybe it's only a matter of time. Sure, most of the populace is complacent, but echoes of dissent are popping up everywhere these days. Some of them aren't afraid of doing what it takes to be heard. Where do you stand? With the silent, downtrodden majority? With those who believe that working from within the system is the only way to defeat it, that small victories will eventually add up to the big one? Or are you with the hardliners, the rebels, the ones ready to set the world on fire to get their point across?
SHAKEN AS WE ARE is a self-hosted, year-old LGBT rpg set in a dystopic, near-future Chicago modified by more than a hundred years of alternate history. We're a small, relaxed game with an emphasis on community feeling, well-developed characters, and good writing.
