Yeah, I tend not to like to use "racialized" mechanics in my games (I started my career in the industry writing "ancestry & culture, an alternative to race in 5e," after all). The star sign is a good alternative suggestion, though!
But yes, it definitely needs a GM playbook, or maybe some GM moves. Normally I put in player and GM principles too, and more fully developed basic moves, etc. But this was kind of a lark, so I mostly just focused on patching together the mechanics mentioned in the article with a heavy dose of liv references. Thanks for the feedback!
