Role Playing – storytelling
Ideas for scenarios:
- Characters (mix of female/ male) are at a party when ‘the new girl in town’ starts making out with one of the characters’ boyfriend.(other characters: boyfriend, local thugs, parents, police…. )
- Characters have lagged behind in the school lab in the basement, when there is a huge explosion, everything collapses and they are stuck there.(other characters: any type of monster, terrorists, rescuers…. )
- Characters are together on a plane heading for a holiday in the sun when the plane is hijacked. (terrorists, pilot, cabin crew)
- Characters are together in an elavator that is stuck. Cell phones do not work.
- Characters are transported through time to any period whatsoever!
Procedure:
Lesson 1:
- Download a dice app where you have the dice you need!
- Group chooses general background.
- Players create their characters – and include something that is secret and relevant to the plot.
GM (Game Master)
- fleshes out the plot,
- creates challenges, at least a couple for each attribute
- creates NPCs (non-player characters) – these do not need to be as detailed as the players, but they should have relevant stats for interaction or possibly for combat.
Lesson 2: play out the story
Lesson 3: finish playing / write the story
Stick to English during the game, and have fun!
