The Broken Window

From the PDF:
This is a replay of a Golden Sky Stories session I ran and recorded a while back so you could get a taste of what the game is like in play. A “replay” is an innovation from the Japanese tabletop RPG scene, a transcript of a full game session. They show up in game rulebooks as tutorials and in separate paperback books as something to read for fun. If you’re not familiar with the game, you can learn about the basics of how it works. I’ve included plenty of footnotes to explain things as they come up.
In Golden Sky Stories players take on the role of henge (pronounced “hen-gay,” two syllables), animals with just a bit of magical power, includ- ing the ability to temporarily take human form. They live in a small town in rural Japan, and when you play the game, you and a few friends tell a story about your henge helping out some ordinary people who have some kind of problem. It’s a heartwarming, non-violent game that transports you to a warm, idyllic place. The game session in this replay takes place in Hitotsuna Town, which is the default town detailed in the Golden Sky Stories rulebook.

Thanks to Chris, Elton, and Tim for humoring me and joining me for what turned out to be a really fun game.
