Hi I'm in the process of wrting my first game which I have bid for Consequences. Unfortunately the experienced GM I had planned on relying on - has had to pull...
How long is the game and how many players? I would have thought a short (2-3 hour) freeform for a very small number of players (up to 15 players) would be OK...

What do we want from a name? I'd suggest the most important point is to set expectations for the game. Will I get muddy? Do I need a weapon? Do I generate...
A very good idea indeed! Then a player could score high against a leader and a follower character, or whatever, since they were 2 different questions. Heidi...
