What Are The Words You Do Not Yet Have?

CONTENT WARNING: police brutality, existential horror, body horror, dehumanization, and the hunting of revolutionaries by conservatives and government agents

I was going to die, sooner or later, whether or not I had even spoken myself. My silences had not protected me. Your silences will not protect you.... What are the words you do not yet have? What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence?

-Audre Lorde

What Are The Words You Do Not Yet Have? is a short horror incursion for Trophy Gold, set in a post-apocalyptic modern city that has been taken over and forcibly, magically silenced. A group of treasure-hunters has heard rumors that somewhere in G.R.I.D City lies some deity that has taken over the city, protecting incredible treasures and perhaps the heart of the city itself. Will you be able to weather the city's cruelty without giving into it yourself?

This incursion is for 2-5 treasure hunters and one GM, and features new names, backgrounds, and drives to aid in character creation.

This incursion does not contain the rules of Trophy Gold which are required to play.

This incursion was originally created for the 2020 Trophy Gold Incursion contest.

If you play What Are The Words You Do Not Yet Have?, leave a comment and let me know how it went! Additionally, I will provide community copies for anyone who cannot afford the incursion to grab, and will top them off periodically.
