So I did it. I played a player narrative game of Don’t Rest Your Head. I used the system from my previous post and it worked wonderfully. It was very fun and definitely a learning experience. Here are some of the things I learned:
I recently set out on a quest to run a player narrative game. (You can read about it here and here.) While I have yet to actually sit down and run one, I am coming awfully close. It seems that every time I get the gumption to try it out, I think too much about it and begin to doubt either myself or the format of play. The self-doubt is a question of sustainable creativity and energy and thus is a personal problem. The format of play, on the other hand, can be addressed.
I’ve had a chance to do some reading yesterday, and sparked by a comment from the Tookster, I would like to elaborate on some of the concepts of player narrative games.
