PG13 please.

No bad language.

It’s an active game, but we don’t judge if you can’t get on so often. Contribute as often as you can, but don’t feel bad if others seem to post more than you do. We will help keep your character involved.

Have you noticed on Storium how many games go really well for the first scene. Often this continues to the second scene, but it can start to slow down.

It can be a challenge to keep going. If you are still going strong past scene 4, you might make the shortlist for a Nobel prize.

So this story is constructed for just three scenes.

I intend to lead onto a sequel, for as many players as wish to continue, with the option for others to join us.

I am not ruling anything in or out.

Please communicate weekly so we know you are still playing.

As players have different speeds you do not need to worry about “posting in order” or waiting for everyone to post.
Players are asked to be respectful to one another and patient if there are differences of opinion or style.

Do not attribute speech to other characters.
You may indicate the jist of a response by another character if this is needed to complete your turn.
Please PM affected characters and attempt to agree on the wording.

Please avoid lengthy collabs unless all players have access. It is best to collab in the game. Where there is to be a back-and-forth dialogue, a collab may be useful.

Your character needs a backstory of having been granted wishes, and they somehow went wrong. It might be funny or tragic - they might have wished unwisely, or had their words deliberately mis-interpreted. It can be a made up character, or a classic character from fiction.

In the game they share their stories of what went wrong, and try to discern the perfect wish.

And then they adventure to track down the source of wishes, get what they want, and wreak their revenge on who tricked them…

You dont have to give too much away in your character…. just enough to show they will be interesting! Can be from any relevant genre or time period.

The game is set in 1992, but the date is not hugely significant. Your character can be from any time period.

I’m not creating any character cards right now, to give you maximum flexibility. But if anyone finds that too daunting, shout and I will help you out. I can give you pre-mades if need be.
