A two-player storytelling game of a short sword and sorcery tale involving a monster and a lover. The two players are You (who creates and plays the hero) and I (who creates and plays a lover and a monster). Character creation is quick - the You player reads a ritual statement¸ then chooses a brief character concept and adds a ten-word description of the Hero's physical appearance. You then chooses a general setting from a list of one-line descriptions and a Goal for the Hero. The I player then fleshes out the setting¸ and creates a lover and a monster for the Hero to deal with. I also sets a Lover score (the number of times the player can script Go events aimed at the lover) and a Monster Score (the number of dice I can roll before the Match ends). - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H.
