My Life with Master was amazing and profound. The mechanics are great (Rob repeatedly yelled ‘elegant!’ this afternoon). Our story is by turns sweet and horrific. It is life-affirming AND depressing. The game really delivers.
The squik factor goes to 11 on this one. It is not for the squeamish. There is also a real danger of emotional bleed, because this game is pretty f’ed up. I mean, it’s about abusive relationships and how you break free from them by finding redemptive ones. And with a group of mature people who don’t mind poking the boundaries, it’s tremendously fun and touching.
Can’t wait for session 2!
