For the past year, we've been working on a DLC chapter for our lesbian road trip RPG Get in the Car, Loser! (Steam and Itch) called The Fate of Another World. Originally, this chapter started life as a bullet point in a pitch document from 2018 showing that we could extend GITCL if we wanted to, and I wasn't sure what to put in there, so "alternate universe where everything is bad" felt like an easy thing to work with, even though I didn't have any concrete ideas for what you could actually do there.

The big bombshell at the core of it, of course, is the appearance of Emily Harmless. Originally just intended to be an explanation for the cool "I WON'T FALTER IN THE FACE OF EVIL" background that shows up as part of the Sword of Fate animation, Emily's small story ended up being more important to the story of the game because I felt like it resonated well, a little bit of real world heroism in a game that's otherwise about bombastic violence. Her death is the big inciting incident that makes the party realize what happens if you don't fight evil preemptively.
