<p>I&#x27;ve tried getting a community of people together to critique Age of Aquarius, I&#x27;ve tried sending it to individuals looking for feedback, so here&#x27;s what I&#x27;m going to do. I&#x27;m going to just throw Age of Aquarius out there chapter by chapter and invite public comment on it.</p><p>If you are interested in critiquing (and perhaps playtesting) a radical anti-capitalist contemporary RPG based on the Apocalypse Engine, please follow my account and bookmark this thread. I&#x27;m going to put the introduction up right away.</p><p>Elevator pitch: it&#x27;s a few years in the future, and magic is returning to the world. Billionaires are turning into dragons, and ordinary people are awakening into legend-born -- developing spontaneous magical abilities, bizarre new physical forms, and alien neurodivergent thought processes. In a world that has been sent spinning on its axis, your characters must cope with radical change, face the responsibility that comes with sudden power, build community and solidarity, and decide what kind of future they want to fight for.</p><p>You may post your comments here, or you may email me privately at xauriel@xaurielzwaan.ca.
