Based on the idea that lots of stories that we think of now being told by one person was actually woven together by lots of different authors in lots of different texts (like knights of the round table). The group of players will cooperatively tell the tale(s) of an original Hero or Heroine. The goal of each player is to prove they are the original author by killing the protagonist off. The game will be called "The Ending Story"
I want to use the books themselves as the both the characters and the mechanics. Each player has a Book of Substance or whatever and they close their eyes and point to a word. The meaning, length, or picture determines sucess and failures as judged upon by the other readers in the group. Each player has a 'secret' goals and stats as detailed on their bookmarks. The stats are determined by the actual physicality of the book the player brought.
Maybe it will work, maybe it won't!
