#**YOU'RE KIDS IN A BOAT.**
***players describe:***
kid; kid's goal, feelings, deep secret, reason to leave boat, reason to stay with fellow characters; secret another character knows.
***Cooperatively add details about:***
boat; time; location; supplies; scene links, themes, cues; any other starting details.
Scenes have link, theme, beginning and ending cues.
`example:
link: scenes begin with words of same song.
Scene-1
theme: Wow!
begins: singing song.
ends: when character says, "What is on your shoulder?"`
***Play:*** group describes circumstances and kids' proposed attempts.
***Spin something to obtain random direction [or 1d8]:***
1-South = exceptional success;
2-North, 3-Northeast, 4-Northwest = success;
5-Southeast, 6-Southwest = partial success;
7-East = unsuccessful;
8-West = exceptionally unsuccessful (major complication).
Group narrates/roleplays result. Take time for dialogue and description.
Continue cooperative storytelling until new attempts with uncertain outcomes exist. Spin result.
***During scene-transitions***, players narrate meaningful flashbacks for each kid with exceptional result.
Then spin for transition:
1-South) soon after previous scene,
2-North) players' idea,
3-Northeast) hour later,
4-Northwest) 8-hours,
5-Southeast) day,
6-Southwest) week,
7-East) month,
8-West) month BEFORE.
***At midpoint ask:*** Why kids now want to be in boat?
*Safe journey!*
Thanks and Joy. :
