Frozen Climb of Icarus¸ Protocol Game Series 33
Frozen Climb of Icarus is a story roleplaying game about a Spartan rite of passage. Characters are Spartan youths on a journey to the cape of a frozen peak (ostensibly¸ Olympus). Their journey requires they travel with only a spear and a pair of sandals and return alive. One among them will prove his or her worth to Sparta above all others by returning with the head of a boar. Protocol is a series of story roleplaying games that thrusts characters together into dramatic situations. Each game uses the same set of rules¸ with vastly different parameters¸ start points¸ characters¸ and finales. Players take on the roles of directors outside the action and characters inside the action¸ using the ebb and flow of four different scene-framing styles (vignettes¸ interrogations¸ interludes¸ and ensembles) to tell meaningful stories about characters in crisis. Each game in the Protocol series is zero-prep for 3 or more players. The game length is exponentially long¸ so games with more players take more time to complete. The Protocol Series requires a deck of poker cards as well as tokens to track drama points. All Protocol Games are 100% GMless¸ require almost no preperation time¸ and use the same game system. There are over 50 games in the series¸ which means there HAS to be something here for you.
