Rowan Zeoli brings Petty Dreadful to the table. Petty is a rage-fueled, attention-seeking drag queen Playing to Win.
Rowan and I discuss gender performance, radical imagination, and the parallels between reality television and actual plays.
Petty Dreadful is built for Deathmatch Island (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/473883/deathmatch-island?affiliate_id=2433888) by Tim Denee.
