You are travelers, bound on a dangerous journey to a fabled destination. Each player describes a reason it's paradise. The group describes how you travel there. Everyone receives a d6 and 3 matches. The journey will take 6 weeks, represented by a roll.
Week 1 -
Roll:
1-4 = describe yourself, an element of the setting, and why you are traveling
5-6 = Same as 1-4 but take an extra match! What was your good fortune?
Roll Weeks-
W.2 | 2-6 = Success | 1 = Light a match.
W.3 | 3-6 = Success | 1-2 = Light a match.
W.4 | 4-6 = Success | 1-3 = Light a match.
W.5 | 5-6 = Success | 1-4 = Light a match.
W.6 | 6 = Success | 1-5 = Light a match.
Success = Describe how you triumphed/survived
Light a Match = Describe how hardships have weakened you.
On weeks 2-5, a 6 allows you to take a match from a player to spend instead of your own. How did you use them to survive?
When you are out of unlit matches you die. Describe your death. Everyone lights a match to mourn you.
If you survive to the end, describe your new life.
