My friends ran my game The Zone for Halloween! Doppelgänger’s and acid vomit? That’s just *chef’s kiss*

I’m officially adding these 10” glowsticks to the official *spookyness* instructions

Actually, thread!

Let’s talk spooky horror game staging! The Zone is a spooky love letter to Annihilation, Stalker, Roadside Picnic. Weird exclusion zones. Doomed expeditions that mutate & get picked off one by one

It’s a creepy campfire story

It should be played in the dark. Huddled together.

Your back to the wild

Been thinking about something

The story does not exist in your film, book, game, play, etc...

It actually exists only in the viewer/reader/player’s mind

You’re writing storycode, compiled & executed into story as it’s experienced

Thread. It’s that quote (can’t find the origin) that “Reading is looking at dead trees and hallucinating”

[An epic thread of 2 minute #storygames for first dates & small talk]

I went on a first date yesterday and that awkward moment came

“I make storytelling games”

“Oh, what’s that?”

Oy vey! Where to start? I pondered.

The Murder Mystery analogy? D&D? Choose Your Own Adventure books? Hope they like the Coen Brothers so I can bring up Fiasco? Or start with @JacksonTegu's Morning, to show the range? Or just go with Beastfucker? (Always memorable. Safe choice.)
