we encourage you to take some time today (and every day) to do something to help bring an end to Israel's genocide. one small action with a big impact is donating to the fundraisers of Palestinians. check out Molly's account for a myriad of people that need support ⬇️

today, on the 2-year anniversary of Israel escalating its genocide in Palestine, we'd like to remind folks that the genocide did not start on Oct. 7, 2023. the Palestinian people have been experiencing a settler-colonial occupation and genocide since the Nakba in 1948. that is 77 years too many.

On October 5, 2021, a stack was born.

136 campaign episodes (and a bunch of A-Talks, Behind the Screens, Adjacents, etc. etc...) later, we stack ever higher.

And it's only getting better from here.

Unspeakable amounts of thanks to the froggy folks who have joined us for this adventure.

what does it say about a character who remembers a memory one way vs another? what choice do they make about themself and their relationships in that remembering? as the Architect, these are the questions you push the other players to consider and ultimately, to answer.

what choice will they make?

instead of trying to find a universal or objective truth in memories, the Architect is encouraged to invite the PCs into their own subjectivities. every character remembers the same events differently. in The Home We Remember, those differences are where the story lies.

that brings us to the Architect's second Agenda: memories are truths, but not always facts.

memories are fickle things. they are influenced by a myriad of factors, many of which depend on the person remembering. these limitations that make memory imperfect are the Architect's playground.

A screenshot of the TTRPG, The Home We Remember. Purple text in a green box reads, "MEMORIES ARE TRUTHS, BUT NOT ALWAYS FACTS". Yellow text underneath reads, "Characters' memories are real and true, but they are not the whole picture. They never can be. Limited by perspective, experience, emotion, there is always more to the story than one character can ever tell. Do not shy away from these limitations. Chase them and see what stories lie in a PC's perspective. Draw attention to the way PCs feel and think during a memory, and how that may be impacting the way the memory unfolds. This game is about memory, after all. Spotlight the imperfections, for better or for worse."

Agendas are the things the Architect is always trying to do. they are suggestions to help the Architect weave the themes and narrative goals of the game into their table's story.

credit for Agendas as a concept goes to @lumpley.bsky.social & @megueyb.bsky.social's Apocalypse World.

the Architect's role as a player is to embody the town, the Home, and the NPCs that make up the community. the Architect is the other half of the conversation with the rest of the players.

to help the Architect understand their role, they can look to their 3 Agendas.

A screenshot of the TTRPG, The Home We Remember. Green header text above a green box reads, "AGENDAS". Purple text within the box lists, "memories do not obey time; memories are truths, but not always facts; home is a feeling, not necessarily a place".

Memories are the cornerstone of The Home We Remember.

As the Architect, your job is to journey into the Memories with your players, use past/present/future as a paintbrush, and tie it all back into the Tragedy.

If memories have happened/are happening/will happen anything is possible!
