I thought I’d share my thoughts on the challenge. It would be great to hear what others thought for it too.
If I’m standing next to someone and they are asking me questions that will be put into a story then I’d like to feel a little nervous excitement about how my thoughts would transpose into a story that I don’t yet know anything about. I’d also like to get a surprise from the story: doesn’t turn out the way I thought it would from the answers I gave.
I’ve played a role playing game that is loosely similar to this concept. I think it was call Fiasco. Excellent game where each player throws in their part of the story in turn and the next player has to react and throw in the next part of the story. The stories that emerge are outrageous.
