hello - i loooove the context and contents so much, and i have skimmed through your dissertation too! i am very interested in making my college thesis a ttrpg, so may i ask - what did you do for masters, and what did it take for you to greenlight this?
Hello! Thank you! To start with i had already written the game when I started my master's. The thesis was written as a kind of process documentation. I attended a master's at a university that has a full game design program and that is very focused on the creative and humanities parts of games. I wrote a thesis proposal before i wrote the actual thesis in order to get it approved.
I studied it and it is smart, good gritty game. As a person who witnessed communism (although just as a child) in my country and fan of Orwell, I am cofirming that this game is right about a totalitarian state... If the GM at least know the famous Orwell book, it means better posiibilities of building of the game world and atmosphere (tone). Personal experience with a totality (at least as in my example) would be even better. (The game could includes more about the setting and lore, but there is the book.). There is also solo play possibility (Mini true edition) which I have not tested yet. 9/10

Thank you for you kind words! It means a lot to me.
This looks great!
Thank you! If you read it/play it please consider rating it!
Really looking forward to this.
I hope it will have a solo journaling mode, for that real Winston Smith experience.
There will definitely be a way of playing solo!
The solo rule set will be published at a later date. They will work as a type of expansion.
