Red Menace preview
Red Menace is a roleplaying game about gay communists in 1920s New York who face both mundane and supernatural horrors: bosses and cultists, capitalism and fell magic.  It's a hack of Aaron King's excellent Speedrune, and is released in this preview version to meet the deadline for the Speedrune jam.  This version includes everything you need to play, but only just: character and community creation guides, rules, downtime activities, etc. I am working on a more detailed version that will include GM advice, character sheets, adventure hooks and a short campaign.
