Emperor’s Revelry • 2016 rpg

You’re sentenced to death and forced to perform a play for the emperor. Should the emperor enjoy your performance the most, you’ll be pardoned. Select one player to be emperor. In secret, the rest of the players determine what role their criminal shall play. Keep in mind you are playing a character (criminal) playing a character (in the play). The emperor will decide the theme, props and setting after all players have determined their roles. Criminals are all given five tokens.
Decide who goes first. On their turn players speak a line and/or perform an action. The emperor judges them on a scale of 1-5 where one is the best. The player rolls a six sided die. Unless the die is greater than what the emperor said, the player loses one token. One other player can interrupt every turn. When you interrupt someone else the emperor judges your line via the above process and you steal a token or are stolen from. 
Players who lose all tokens are killed immediately as described by the emperor. Their deaths should be incorporated into the play. Should there be any conflict between actors the emperor shall decide the outcome.
