Hey all, hope this is the right place to ask this. I made a homebrew setting for SWADE, taking inspirations from Cyberpunk RED and World of Darkness, basically a neo-noir urban fantasy.
- The things it shares with cyberpunk: corporatist dystopia, "high tech, low life", cyberpsychosis.
- the things it shares eith WoD: hidden supernaturals, struggle with reconciling past and current identity
Where it differs from both is that I'm ditching the doomerism of both and hopefully replacing it with revolutionary optimism. That is to say, things may be fucked now, but communally the struggle can be overcome, though it may be violent. The other thing that is different is the flavor behind the existence of the supernatural (human belief reshapes reality as opposed to a distant event linked to one religion or another).
What I'm struggling with right now is I wonder if I'm communicating this effectively through both lore and mechanics, and if anything in the text could be misconstrued as queer/trans/phobia (as I'm not part of those groups). Dunno what the best place to share the pdf would be.
