Girl Underground

Facilitator: 
Lauren McManamon

Girl Underground (www.girlunderground.org) is a tabletop rpg about a curious girl in a wondrous world, inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Labyrinth, the Wizard of Oz, Spirited Away, and similar tales; written by Lauren McManamon and Jesse Ross.

Follow a young girl's journey of self-discovery through a whimsical, twisty fantasy land with the friends she meets along the way. Explore willowy woods filled with whisper-soft lies, or tricky fairy rings with riddling promises, all on the way to overthrow an unjust ruler, until you eventually find your way back home.

Players will create the Girl who is our protagonist for this adventure. They will also create unique companions to support her along the way. Some familiar faces include the Beastie (Puss in Boots, the Cheshire Cat, and other rebellious animals), the Faun (half-person, half-magic, all indulgence and whimsy), and the Runaway (Peter Pan and similar lost children).

Content notes: This is a game about discovering your core beliefs as a young person and using them to overthrow society's rules and norms. Some themes that may arise are gender exploration, gaslighting, growing up and the shame and awkwardness that comes with it, and patriarchal constructs.

However, the players choose which themes will come up in the game, and we will absolutely not touch upon subject matter that would be un-fun, upsetting, or triggering. This game is intended to be a safe, fun way to explore growing up.
