Book Launch : The Green Book

Hello all,

I've been writing replayable freeform / jeepform scenarios in the scandavian style for a few years now. I've finally got round to putting them together and  published the most emotionally intense three as a standalone book.

It's available to order online here:

http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/the-green-book/11912588

All the material is designed to be playable and replayable by a small number of players in a single room. Different meta-techniques are described with each scenario, along with an optional variant to increase replayability.  I should mention these are not typical 'forgian' games in that they are very system-lite (there is some use of a card based mechanic for controlling narrative flow in some scenarios), and they lean more towards improv larp than tabletop.

Included in the book:
Passion Fruit, a scenario of temptation
No organiser, 2-3 players
A scenario exploring the emotions around cheating in a relationship.

Black Dog, a scenario of despair
one organiser, 3-6 players
A scenario based on identity theory, and exploring the descent into clinical depression.

Balanced Scales, a scenario of conflicting truths,
No organiser, 3-5 players
A scenario about the subjective nature of human interactions and the act of taking a human life.

All scenarios include a 'character creation system', based on defining what aspects of the character are important in that scenario.  Example characters are also incldued.

Hiya,

There's a lot of interest in jeepform among readers of this site, but merely bumping the Lulu link is probably not the best way to promote your work here. I suggest that you post about your experiences with the scenarios in the Actual Play forum.

Best, Ron
