About the adventure
You are not a person. Whatever you used to be, whatever sex or sexuality you thought you had, you are a pilot now. An object. An asset of war against impossible enemies. The Gorgons rip reality apart, and only you and the technological miracle of your Frame can stand in their way. Your Frame will save the world, but you are as expendable as an artillery shell. A precisely designed and carefully honed shell, sent with full knowledge it will explode upon your enemy. Take what comfort you can in the wonder of your combustion. Your Handler will use you, or abuse you, as they see fit. Your fellow Pilots will do likewise. You will be judged. Punished for infractions, rewarded for triumphs. You want to be a good girl, don't you? --------------- There is a ring hanging in the sky. Or, it will be a ring, when it's finished. Right now it's more a crescent... but it grows a little more complete every day. How many days are left? You can look up and see it. Closer than the moon, clear with the naked eye. A magenta arc hanging in the sky. You can see it clearly through clouds... or with your eyes closed. If you focus you can see it through walls... or maybe that's just a stress hallucination? It doesn't exist. Not really. It doesn't show up on radar. There's no heat signature. No camera has ever picked up a single photon from it. No spectrometer has ever found the mildest trace of anything. Even efforts to detect microgravity from such a massive object have failed. There is no physical evidence of anything there at all. But, it is there. You can see it. Everyone can see it. Hanging over us. Nearing completion. We don't know what it is, or what happens when it's finished. How many days are left? The one harpy we recovered who said anything intelligible about it simply called it, "The Gates of Compassion." She couldn't explain why, or what it meant. Just that we'd know when they were open. She seemed sad when she said it... when you tell a child that they'll understand when they're older, even though you don't understand yourself. That's what she looked like. We don't know what it is, or what it's for... but we do know who is doing it. So, we go to war. Kill them before they can finish it. How many days are left? -------- Girl Frame is a new game about military abuse, mecha, fighting monster, and intense kink. This game will engage in adult themes, erotica, and horror. It will also engage in science fiction military action and high emotional drama. As Girl Frame is a game still being worked on, be prepared for some rules and characters to be updated or houseruled during the course of play.

About me
I am a compulsive storyteller, and adore telling stories with people. I love the mechanical bits and bobs of games, but my real passion is for the cooperative storytelling. It's the blend of thoughts and ideas all mixed together that makes roleplaying games a unique and treasured medium. I've been GMing for 16 years now, with experience in a wide rage of systems and settings, and always looking forward to expanding my horizons and experiences. Personal favorite games include Unknown Armies (2e), Dread, Swashbucklers of the Seven Skies, and Wild Talents. I can't wait to find out what stories we can tell together!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character Creation will be handled at session 0, and involves selecting two Playbooks, one for your Girl and one for your Frame. We will also discuss which Handler the players prefer to have in charge of their characters, and give players a chance to help build the details of the world.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a Discord account and a microphone. A camera is not required, but is preferable. For best practice, grab a copy of Girl Frame and support the creator.
What Elizabeth brings to the table
This is a game about systemic military abuse, science fiction action, and kink erotica. My job is to balance these while creating a safe space to experience the full range of emotions from horny to horror and every combination thereof. This is not a game of strict tactics, but of high drama and intense emotion, of systems of power both grand and petty, and the focus is on how people hurt and enforce powers over each other.

How Elizabeth creates a safe table
Given the intense nature of the game and the subject matter involved, we'll be doing a thorough discussion of lines, veils, and general themes up front, and strict use of safety tools. Session 0 will be going over comfort levels and set expectations for how extreme description will go, but expect this game to go further than most. Discomfort and pushing up to limits is part of the point, but that makes it all the more important we are clear what the unmovable boundaries are. No one goes in with eyes closed. X, N, & O cards can be said verbally, messaged privately, or held up on video, as publicly or privately as you prefer.
