Far From Home is a 3--5 player ttrpg about outsiders. It runs on the Belonging Outside Belonging engine, so it's narrative first and foremost, but it also commits more heavily to the idea of belonging outside belonging than any other game I've seen with that system, and it starts its game by venn diagramming  where your characters stand in relation to the forces around them.

By default, Far From Home doesn't have a canon setting---which might have made it feel a little bit bland if my brain hadn't immediately realized it was the setting I'd use to play the Monstress universe. Similarly, I think other ideal settings might jump out at people as they read this, and it's a point in the game's favor that it can generate that kind of automatic response.

Still, the lack of a pre-packaged setting can make it hard to connect to, so if you read Far From Home and no automatic settings occur to you, think back through material that you like and try to figure out where the outsider characters are. When you've zeroed in on them, you'll have solid material that you can play.

The actual game mechanics are relatively stock Belonging Outside Belonging, and are made to be compatible with any setting. If you're a fan of the engine, this is it in a pretty pure form, and may be worth checking out just for that reason.

If you're not a fan of the engine, Far From Home is still a well-made, good-looking game, and may be worth having in your pocket for storytelling-focused one-shots. It's very easy and quick to convert to, and as long as the story you're all telling is about outsiders in some capacity, it will adapt just about anything.

Thanks for checking out the game :) I really like the setting for Monstress as well and it would work really well with the game, so I'm glad that connection was made.
