Catalyst of Annihilation • 2017 rpg

Two acquaintances stumble into each other through pure coincidence. The world is doomed because of this chance encounter.

Describe who the characters are and how they know each other. Discuss tone and setting (mythic, mundane, supernatural, military, sci-fi, etc).  

One starts as the Asker. The other starts as the Answerer. 

ASKING
Asker, ask a leading or prying question starting with Who, What, Where, When, Why, or How.  

RESPONDING
Answerer, pick a response from the list below and flesh out the past, present or future as directed. Then, start a new round as the Asker.  

Refuse
Refuse to answer the question. It reminds you of a past failure. Flashback to a past frustration that brought you here. 

Obfuscate
Lie or stall. Something in the present is more pressing. Describe a change in the immediate scene.

Answer 
Describe a scene at the end of the world. Include the corresponding prompt’s detail from the table below. Then, answer the question in the present. Cross off the question’s prompt. 

Prompt...      Detail
Who...         Concluding regret.  
What...        Desecrated touchstone.   
Where...       Profane bodies. 
When...        Devoured hope.
Why...         Gnawing void.
How...         Cataclysmic instrument.

ENDING
The game ends when all prompts are spent and the world’s fate is sealed.
