South Sarasota County¸ Protocol Game Series 35
South Sarasota County is a story roleplaying game about a failing independent/regional wrestling organization. Over the years¸ South Sarasota County has fallen behind its rivals¸ failing to adapt to the changing wrestling market. Characters are wrestlers either moving up through the ranks or in the twilight of their careers¸ now circling the drain in a dying league; they can even be promotors¸ bookers¸ and support members of the organization. Play involves behind the scenes action as much as the wrestling ring. 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.
