THE NEWLY ARRIVED

THE NEWLY ARRIVED is a tabletop roleplaying game, exploring the themes of survival, belonging, and trust.

You will embody an outsider. 

Where did you come from? Who were you before?  What has brought you here and why are you compelled to join this established community?

In the same story, you will represent a councilmember.  

As part of the Council, you will determine whether or not the Newly Arrived will become members of your community.  What happened before that keeps you closed off? Why risk opening up your community to strangers? Is it worthwhile to take a leap of faith and trust the unfamiliar?
