So this is my ‘ad lib’ prop for the first stage of +John Aegard’s one shot guide. To set the broad setting and situation before chargen. Each player gets to choose one option from the list round robin style until all are selected.

This gives me all sorts of player flagged elements that inspire ideas for locations and dangers and items that I can tie back into the Characters during chargen.

The sentence can just sit near the map as it forms on index cards, or World Architect cards. NPCs can be named and attached with sticky notes and agendas as we discover them through play.

The first scene is also so easy now😊

Just an evening’s play (one or two steps away) from achieving their goal…

  1. Oh I never though of making other ‘Fridge poetry’ Dungeon Starter stuff! That should be a thing! Hmmm. I wonder if you can make your own fridge poetry sets?! That would make Vx’s games soooooo good 🙂

  2. Sure Catherine Devlin , I’ve added them to the end of ‘my’ copy of John Aegard’s excellent one shot guide. Credit where credit is due.

    Please remember that I’ve edited his document to suit my playstyle and gamegroup, and have edited the text quite a lot. I’m not claiming ownership to any of this stuff, just sharing it with fellow gamers so we can all play better games.
