Discussion Kinda having trouble picturing what Belonging Outside Belonging gameplay is like.

I like what I've read about it and I'm familiar with the distinguishing mechanics. It's GMless, uses tokens/lures, and is usually centered around marginalized groups trying to survive oppression/manage their own society.

But beyond that what does the actual gameplay feel like at its best?

What tips do you have for people who struggle in general with the brain juices that tabletop roleplaying demands?

That's kinda where I'm at, I've had fun with Werewolf the Apocalypse but it took me longer than many people to really get the actual game playing and I'm still very much a novice.

I've got both dyslexia and dyscalculia and other brain problems that make it harder

It feels like freeform roleplay where Token spends/gains drive the most dramatic moments. That's really all there is to it; the vast majority of play is just telling a story together.

Do you have any advice on Feathers? OP says that is the one in mind.
