Thank you Cecily! I try very hard to make reviews and essays go beyond what is in the text, so I’m grateful that these sort of things resonate with others!

I loved this. Belonging Outside Belonging games are something very close to my heart in general and I will definitely be checking out apocalypse keys

[@ladytabletop]

Your words resonated so much with me as an also ex-Catholic. Sometimes I feel guilty for missing Easter Vigil mass; some of my favorite childhood moments with religion were at that mass.
Love this game and can't wait to run it myself!

You can take yourself out of the Church, but some days it’s real hard to take the Church out of us. Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoy Apocalypse Keys!!

Thanks for this beautiful overview 😀

I came here for the AK content, but I was not expecting a reminder of my Catholic upbringing. I completely sympathise with the loss of community that comes with leaving the faith. I absolutely miss the music too.
I was surprised to run into that sentiment in a RPG review video!

i just stumbled upon this while prepping to run Apocalypse Keys. What a fantastic video

[@aavoigt]

Thank you for watching, good luck with your game!

[@dantanskymonsterhunter]

[@reedjos08]

[@aavoigt]
