This is a game played wherever warriors gather on the eve of battle. Around a roaring campfire, huddled in a creaking tent, or in a demon-infested dungeon.
Each present knows this coming battle may be their last. Some sit in silence, others fill the silence with tall tales in the hope that past glories might help form tomorrow’s.
While we wait for death to arrive, we tell stories about when they didn’t show up.
While We Wait for Death uses a standard deck of playing cards to simulate the back and forth of shared storytelling and provide prompts to guide the direction of the story.
You can use this game for telling stories that connect your existing RPG characters, or when creating new ones. You could do this this at the start of a campaign to create a shared history, at a campfire outside deadly dungeon, or in the hall of a king during a desperate siege..
