Rewrite • 2017 rpg

The first book was a roaring success. You have the adulation of millions of fans. Can you strike gold a second time? Or are you a one-hit wonder?

You’re parts of the author’s psyche: roll individually to see which STORY ARC you’re after.

Take turns producing a paragraph of story, rolling to incorporate a PLOT ELEMENT.

The publisher wants changes! Once everyone’s had a turn pick another section then change it, according to an EDIT roll. Continue until a result comes up a fourth time.
