Thank you so much! Just played SSP with 5 players (4 plus me) and had a lovely time. We played with male and female players and aged up the all-female characters to be freshmen pledges in a sorority house at a sleepover. Some indulged in silly tickling, some with laugh wrestling, lots of pillow swinging, and others dipped their painted toes into blushing sapphic moments of physical and emotional vulnerability. Lots of new feelings and carefree abandon that tip-toed toward a shared release of pent up breath we didn't realize we've been carrying. A gentle catharsis.
My favorite element was that getting whacked by a pillow didn't give you a capital-w Wound that makes your character get hurt or sad or mean. Instead, getting hit by a friend's pillow helps you lose your inhibitions and tap into a carefree, present state of love and joy. Such a beautiful space to inhabit with my actual-friends tonight. Thanks so much.
P.S. we put on a mix of highschool era nostalgic music to help us tap into the mood. Recommended!
