Orphans-N-Guardians

ONG is a role-playing game for teaching "parts work", a therapeutic technique for understanding and managing internal conflict. The game is designed to be played by a group of 1-6 players, using software as the facilitator. The facilitator guides the players through a series of encounters with their "orphans" (parts of themselves that are stuck in the past) and "guardians" (parts of themselves that protect them from their orphans). The goal of the game is to help players identify and understand their orphans and guardians, and to learn how to work with them in a healthy and productive way.
