I played my first game from Top Ten Games you can play in your head this morning. The book is an intriguing concept, essentially a structured setup as you might get for a #storytelling #game but which is essentially a ruleless springboard for daydreaming about the situations described in the book.
The first one to grab me was about a dinner party where you are an assassin who is uncertain who they are meant to be killing at a Victorian dinner party. The setup just grabbed me and I did start thinking about what would happen next.
Generally I think roleplayers have these experiences all the time but seeing them as an inherently useful thing worthy of pursuit outside of standard gaming circles seems new to me. It also offers an interesting insight into when kickers work better than plots.
