Summary We play an RPG written by Inmn with some of the folks from It Could Happen Here. The game is set in the world of Margaret's new book, Escape from Incel Island. To cope with rising misogynist violence, the US government offered people a golden opportunity: any one who felt like they were owed a free woman could move to a remote island and be given one. The offer was, of course, a trap. The party is made up of a charming Volcel, the Liver King meets Andrew Tate, a trapped failed murder-tourist, a cultist of Dagon, and a humanitarian trying to bring the word of Christ to the island, respectively. The party finds themselves in the dungeon of the King of the Incels, but they have heard there’s a recently abandoned oil tanker off the coast, near the Volcel encampment, but some special forces units have also been trapped on the island and they are making a dash for the oil tanker as well.
