Things They Carried Home is a system-adaptable narrative roleplaying scenario about war, trauma, memory, and the struggle to return to ordinary life after extraordinary violence. Combat nurses, journalists, activists, administrators, and veterans move through a society divided over what the war meant and who deserves recognition for surviving it. Field hospitals still echo through civilian emergency rooms, public ceremonies collide with protest movements, and women who served find their experiences minimized or erased entirely. As institutions attempt to stabilize patriotic narratives and media organizations reshape testimony into consumable stories, survivors struggle to maintain relationships, careers, and identities under the continuing pressure of unresolved trauma. Inspired by the themes and emotional atmosphere of The Women by Kristin Hannah, this original scenario explores wartime medicine, reintegration, public memory, and the social consequences of institutional silence.
