EXAMPLE: [Narrator]: You enter a dimly lit room. To the right of you is a wooden table. On the other side of the room is a small bookshelf. To the left of the room is a door.




[Player]: John: Use door.


[Narrator]: Huh? It appears the door is locked. Perhaps there's a key somewhere around here?




[Player]: John: Examine bookshelf.


[Narrator]: Upon closer examination, you notice a small key wedged in between one of the books. Take it?

[Player]: John: Take key.


[Narrator]: You place the key in your inventory. You have 4 slots remaining.


And so on. Anyone interested?

Yeah, I don't know who would play who but it sounds cool!

Want to suggest a topic?

Sure. Can it be a western?

Possibly. What's the conflict?

The horse broke down.

Haha, why not? I guess I'll come up with the setting then.

A Few Cowboys are all going for the same stash of cash that is hidden somewhere in an old abandon bank.

And the abdoned bank is hidden in a Mountain complex that is called "Shoe of Manitu", because it looks like a shoe

All right, let's begin!

Your name is Calvin Knight. The year is 1842, and your horse has collapsed. You were on your way to the mountain complex known as "The Shoe of Manitu". Legend says that there is an old abandoned bank hidden somewhere in these mountains. Rumors speak of a hidden treasure stashed there. Many have journeyed to the mountains, and only a few have returned, speaking of evil and malice. However, you are not one to be fazed by children's tales. You had packed everything necessary to survive the harsh trip, until your horse, Rainsford, collapsed at the base of the mountains. You'll have to go on foot from here on out. But little do you know, you are quietly being trailed by a couple of cowboys that are also after the loot.




You have equipped: A plain shirt, plain pants, a prairie hat, leather boots, and a hunting knife.




Items being carried by Rainsford: A bottle of water, Beef Jerky (3 uses), a Colt Revolver (5 rounds), a Lantern (filled), a compass, a basic sketch of the mountains, an axe, "Survival 101" by Ace Deringer, and lantern oil.




Your pack will fit 6 items.

//So which one of us gets to play the character?\\

Anyone can control him.
