What's a story game?
This is a short roleplaying game where the players collaborate to imagine and describe the people, places and events of a shared story.
What are micro story games designed for?
The short and simple nature of a micro story game, requiring minimal preparation, means that it works well to:

- entertain a diverse range of ages
- act as an ice-breaker between rounds at a roleplaying convention
- fill time while waiting for players to arrive to a regular game session
