Description

When magic first came into this world, about twenty years ago, it wasn't the physicists that figured out how it worked -- it was the psychologists. Magic is fueled and shaped by the darkest, most unhealthy emotions within us. Anger gives us control over fire, while through paranoia we have the power of lightning. Now, you're using that power to fight for the rights of queer people everywhere. But are you controlling the magic, or is the magic controlling you? 'til it kills us is a multi-player TTRPG about queer activism, mental health and the delicate balance between the two. Each player has unique powers to help them fight, but they can't do it alone. Through the Buddy System, you'll have to work together and combining your abilities, to solve problems. This is a fiercely queer game, but it's also about fighting bigotry, so be warned of references to queerphobia (including real historical events), as well as various mental health issues. Nothing is explicitly depicted.This game is based on the Buddy System, published by Jessica Marcrum.
