And why a lot of tables never migrate from their safe, known games (typically dnd, maybe PbtA), because they don't want to take on that effort cycle of learn - teach - play.

I did! What a wild way to twist that formula to make something even more compelling.

Roottrees are Dead is such a good game! What a fun bit of couch sleuthing.

And Id like a world where a simple "psychological fantasy" would work (like in psychological horror), but those words together give me reservation.
Is "Psyfic" anything??

So far I've only found "Psychopop" which is tied into music, and "Akachic" which I thought of and feel ashamed about.

Might try using the search term "Dark Academia" and see if that's a route worth exploring.

Want to see the game in action? Destiny is on your side!
