The Unknown Playbook

The Unknown is a Powered By Lesbians playbook compatible with the Thirsty Sword Lesbians RPG. 

How can you be your authentic self when you don’t even know who or what that is? Lost in a world with no clear answers, The Unknown struggles to define themselves. It’s one thing to be mysterious to others, but to yourself? Their central conflict is self discovery; finding true identity separate from external pressures.

The Unknown uses a unique mechanic called Labels to track how people see your character. Anytime someone gains a String on you, you can associate that String with one of your labels; sharing a specific part of you with that person, even if it's a part you don't like. Then use those labels to either acknowledge your truth or fly in the face of expectations to dramatic effect!
