Description
To Be A Wanderer is about the different ways that members of a diaspora are portrayed in their own stories and the stories of others. It is about having a culture that you can call on only in memory and reference, and still trying to do good in the world. It's about having hope and good intentions when being an eternal stranger. And it's about how that reality is shared between ordinary people and many heroes of fantasy.

what a fantastic description to go with a similarly fantastic game! you capture the feeling of being a wandering lone wolf so well in just two pages and it's really impressive. i think the decision to include snap judgements from others and the ways in which you navigate changing/confirming them creates a really interesting dichotomy between public perception and the private self. it's really thought-provoking!

what a neat idea! hell yeah 💚
