This screen from #MonumentValley  would make a really interesting way to open up a First Session. We’re starting a new campaign this month, so I’ve been thinking of interesting ways of launching into it.

I’m aiming for minimal prep, and incorporating a few ideas from my Emergent Narrative talks. Other ideas:

Taking two songs from a random playlist in iTunes and incorporating the band name, song title, or lyrics from each.

Going through a folder of concept art and incorporating the first image that stirs the players’ imagination.
