ENVOY
ENVOY is a short, GM-less roleplaying game for three or more players. Inspired by Ursula K. LeGuinn's The Left Hand of Darkness, players take on the roles of THE ENVOY, a human visitor to an alien world, and several representatives of that world's society.  ENVOY explores persuasion, how we come to understand unfamiliar cultures, and getting what you want, as players collaboratively build a society by answering questions, and try to shape the perception of their culture to their own ends. Download includes a .docx version of the rules which has been optimized for screenreaders and reformatted to be easier to read for those with dyslexia.
