If so pitch it here for feedback.   Positive and/or constructive replies only please.

I have an idea, but I'm not sure it's a game exactly? Basically, you mail notebooks around and everyone adds a page to the story in the notebooks then sends them on to the next person. There'd be a few rules about what needs to be added to the story each turn, but that's about it.

That's RAD and sounds like a game to me!

I have similarish ideas I'm going to post below

Aw, thank you! Looks like I need to do this then?

HostSubmitted

My two ideas:


Purple monkey dishwasher: Art Telephone:  In this game you will basically make a drawing and send it to someone.  That person will take an element out of that piece of art, create their own piece of art, and send it to somebody else!


Vote by mail: In this game you will basically come up with SOMETHING you want people to vote on.  You will then create a table with two sides and send it to one person who will then send it to someone else.  When you receive it you mark your initials on the side of the table you are voting for.

I like both of those, especially the play on telephone! Is the initial mailer the vote counter or are they participating too?

With both games I'm thinking you include your address at the bottom with something like "once it gets to this point mail this back to me" type thing.  I'm still playing with that idea, as that could end up giving your address to a lot of people, I need to work it out but it's going to be SOMETHING like that I think.  That or you create a custom hashtag on Twitter that everyone who has participated can follow, once they get it they post the tally of the votes on Twitter or Instagram (even though I don't use Insta LOL)

I was thinking of having an example letter included in mine to show how you can expand on the tables and generated words I'm including. I'm a little worried that will come off as patronizing, like I don't believe people will be able to do it on their own. What do other people think?

I think it's great to provide tools for players that you think could be helpful.  In order to alleviate your concern you could just list that those are optional tools designed to inspire.

Oh, that's a good idea, thank you!
