Nameless Fae Q5: Use in games
How can this be related to gaming? Could you use any of the worldbuilding in your games? Would you be tempted to take and twist a traditional fairy story to make it the basis of a gaming session?
How about the emphasis on connection rather than violence? (That basis makes me think of Under Hollow Hills, a game about a fairy travelling circus. That is explicitly based on the Le Guin guote in Q4.) Do your games feature romance and connection? Could they? Should they?

My games are and have always been rife with such. Romance is a big tool in my toolbox.

I try to bring relationships more into the games I play and run. Having emotional connections between characters makes the game engaging, I think. But I generally play at a local club, and sometimes get players I don't know. A lot of people can be reticent with playing out romance in that setting.
I'm not sure the idea of "twisted fairy tale" is a novel one for inspiration-fodder, but it was nice to see a "twisted" tale that wasn't all grimdark.
I did run a game of Under Hollow Hills and mostly enjoyed it. There was one scene that upset one of the players, but I think that was caused by a mis-communication rather than malice.
