Farewell, My Love • 2017 rpg

2 lovers, 1 quiet room, some time to yourselves

Find a private, quiet space where you can sit facing your lover.

One of you is the Traveler about to depart. You may or may not survive to return. Describe the upcoming journey, and why you must go.

The other player is the Hopeful, the lover who will await the Traveler’s return. Describe how you will keep the memory of your love alive.

Maintain silence from now on.

Face each other, lock eyes. 

Take hands gently. 
Without words--using your fingertips and hands--touch your lover’s hands, arms, shoulders, neck, head, face. Take turns expressing emotions through touch. Maintain eye contact; breathe together. Vary your touch to communicate your feelings.
