TIGER-POET • 2018 rpg

China, seventh century. Player 1 plays SANGETSUKI, a failed poet who lost his mind. One night, sleepwalking, he entered the jungle and turned into a tiger. Take two different colored d20: One for his TIGER-side, the other for his POET-side.

Player 2 plays Five TRAVELLERS who enter the jungle looking for something. Take 2 apple-sized STONES.

Role-Play 5 scenes: 
In each of these, one TRAVELLER enters the jungle. Why? What is SANGETSUKI doing meanwhile? Both narrate. End scenes with their meeting and roll the dice. Re-roll doubles.

If TIGER-dice is the highest:
The TRAVELLER is killed. Otherwise escape by using a STONE, but the tiger will chase you in your nightmares: the TRAVELLER dips the stone in PAINT/INK and stamps it on paper. Add pen details to the print: eyes, fangs... Narrate your death or nightmare.

If POET-dice is the highest: 
SANGETSUKI asks the Traveler to write down one of his poems he remembers by heart: SANGETSUKI tears off one random page from an old book and covers all text with a black marker, skipping some evocative words to create a poem. 

After the last scene SANGETSUKI is free. The world will remember him through nightmares and poems.
