Hello, This game looks wonderful.  I am a teacher and have been looking for a rpg that my elementary students could get into that isnt about slaying monsters and killing folk.  I looked through the free play kit and I like what I see, though I do have a few questions.  

1. Are gods heavily featured (I work in Texas)?  This might be of concern to some of my parents.

2. While I myself am trans, and support the lgbt community, I again worry about parent backlash.  How heavy are the lgbt themes in the game?  In the free play kit, they seem pretty light, but I definitely will have to cover my butt on this if I bring it to school.

3. Is there much killing? I noticed the character background "vagabond" is probably one that I would just not offer to my kids, but are there other areas in the story that heavily feature killing or other such things?

I realize that I can edit out parts that I do not think will fly in my Texas school, but at a certain point some things might be more work than they are worth.


Thank you for your help!

Hi River! Thanks for reaching out

1. There are explicit references to small and forgotten gods, but if you want to rename those "spirits" or "ghosts" the game functions totally fine. They're more like animist deities than anything else.

2. If the level of themes in the playkit works for you, then you'll be fine with the full game itself. There might be a couple of pieces of artwork that depict gay animals, but that's it.


3. There is no violence in Wanderhome, not even with the vagabond! There is the Veteran, another playbook who has a sword - but they never draw their sword and the act of using it causes them to immediately get removed from the game. Besides that and the Vagabond's history (which they've moved on from) there's no violence of any kind.


Please let me know if you have any more questions!
