## Directory Notes

Dream Askew is important not just because it is GMless, but because it proves how much authority can be distributed without the whole game dissolving into drift. It has a very clear thematic center, and that clarity is what lets the form work.

## Theme and Setting

The game is not trying to simulate everything that happens after the world breaks. It is trying to explore community, desire, safety, and pressure inside the wreckage.

## How Play Feels

The post-apocalyptic setting matters less as an action backdrop than as a condition that sharpens interdependence. People need one another, but they also strain against one another.

## What Makes It Distinct

The result is a game where scarcity, intimacy, and social boundaries feel more important than external conquest. That makes the apocalypse meaningful instead of merely atmospheric.

## Where It May Not Fit

You want tactical conflict resolution You want a traditional GM structure.
