Player 1 "Eretic" : you are a condemned waiting for execution.
Pick a historical or fictional background and describe yourself and the scene.
Player 2 "Demon": you are a demon of sorts.
Appear to Player 1 and offer to grant 3 wishes. You are going to have fun with that.
Roleplay the scene.
Player 1: write 3 wishes, using 6 or less words for each wish.
3 WISHES RULE (is known to Player 1 before they write):
1 wish will be granted and narrated by the Demon starting with: YES, AND...
1 wish will be granted and narrated by the Demon starting with: YES, BUT...
1 wish will be granted and narrated by the Demon starting with: WELL, ALMOST, BUT NOT REALLY, BECAUSE...
Then Player 1: narrate a conclusion and call the demon to grant a Last Wish.
Write the Last Wish down using 9 or less words.
LAST WISH RULE (is known to Player 1 before they write):
The demon will turn 1 word of the Last Wish in that word's opposite.
Then she (grinningly) grants it.
Roleplay the end.
(Does that word have an opposite? Is that the real opposite? If there's a discussion, it's part of the game.)
this game comes from a deep love of fairy-tales and words. thanks for playtesting to Lorenzo Trenti, Osiride Cascioli, Lapo Luchini.
