# carry: a game about war tags: #game/rpg/carry ![[carry (cover).jpg]] Ah, **carry. a game about war.** Imagine a game that decides to take the grim reality of the Vietnam War and says, "Let's make this personal." No dragons, no magic, just the raw, unfiltered experience of soldiers with more baggage than your last family vacation. You get a set of characters straight out of central casting, each with their own "burden" because apparently, war itself wasn't heavy enough. The core mechanics? Imagine playing with a pool of dice that's as moody as your ex. It's all about navigating the trust issues and loyalty dramas you'd expect in a high school cafeteria, except with more at stake than who's sitting at the cool table. They've spruced up the edition with more explanations and examples, making it easier to dive into the emotional quagmire they promise. So, if you're into spending 3-4 hours simulating the kind of psychological trauma that usually requires a therapist, this might just be your cup of PTSD. ## References - [**carry. a game about war. revised edition** at DriveThruRPG | DriveThruRPG.com](https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/194309/carry-a-game-about-war-revised-edition)
