Caged: A (Not) One-Page Solo TTRPG About A First-Gen Immigrant With a Foot In Two Worlds And Being Torn Apart

This TTRPG game is for Identity Jam 2023. Be warned: I am presenting you with my pain and expecting you to feel it. I am not holding back.

This game is an amalgamation of my life experiences as a child and teenager with just a pinch of adulthood thrown in. It is not kind. It is not gentle. The sweetness of Leona Maple will not be found in these pages. Instead, it contains my identity and terrifying levels of honesty and vulnerability. I hope you will read it and respond in love and kindness.

It was supposed to be one page, and I decided it deserved to take up space and not be one page anymore. Sorry not sorry.

This game is for Identity Jam 2023. It is written by Leona Neelam Maple. It wouldn’t be possible without Cat’s (Peach Garden Games) encouragement or without Cat’s game, It Is Written, which inspired my dual-endings.

This game uses the Second Guess System SRD by gamenomicon.
