but really i'm not actually your friend

24 desires for use in any Good Society game, patterned after songs by the one, the only They Might Be Giants! Usable for most any setup of Good Society, with emotional tonalities ranging from absurd to melodramatic to horrific, focusing on awkward and unusual emotional stakes much like the songs that each desire is inspired by.

All desires are included in this Google doc (reproduced also as a download): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KaJvrQdWUK_Wx_kB9kNN4dhHPUaKfimSEyGqPb1d...

This doc is based on avalon divine's playsheet for moments that we stole (https://bellanaris-art.itch.io/moments-that-we-stole), taking the desires section and welcome page. This was a 1-day jam project for 2025's Another Day In Habershire jam (https://itch.io/jam/another-day-in-habershire).

This work is based on Good Society (found at storybrewersroleplaying.com/good-society/) a product of Storybrewers Roleplaying, developed and authored by Hayley Gordon and Vee Hendro.

The desires are inspired by the lyrics of They Might Be Giants, cited in their appropriate places.
