Hello you game nerds! We're going to write a zine for zinequest!
2
Before we begin, you need a genre. Everyone share the genre of the last movie or tv show you watched.
3
Now pick two of those.
4
That's your genre. Yup, both of them. Doesn't make sense? That's the best kind.
5
We're going to go clockwise and read prompt cards. They'll tell us to make up part of a game.
6
Some things will appear out of order. That's the idea! A feature, not a bug.
7
At the end we will name our game. Don't name it now! No! Stop!
8
This game assumes you are writing a PBtA game for zinequest with your fellow players.
9
If that's not your intention, give it a moment, this might grow on you.
10
Or turn into a mess, I don't know. PLAY TO FIND OUT!
11
There's an X card, use the crap out of it!
12
X stuff!
13
X this card!
14
Felt good right?!
15
Get some pen and paper handy, or share a spreadsheet if you are online.
16
You'll be making four playbooks
17
A set of MC moves
18
A set of basic moves
19
You'll make a setting for your game
20
And some other stuff too! I don't even know what yet. I'm writing this game stream on concious after a nap ,and hope to finish it by the time I drink this cup of coffee!
21
Oh, one last thing!
22
Don't do a lot of editing!
23
By all means X stuff though! You can X this card, it's okay! It's part of the game!
24
But don't over think your answers, these are broad strokes!
25
After the game you can sort out reward levels and how to structure your stretch goals.
26
DETAILS ARE FOR ANOTHER TIME!
27
BE BOLD AND FREE!
28
Laugh a little too!

OOOOH, yeah, edit that thing. You know the one. It bothers you. It's cool. A little editing won't hurt.
Pat your self on the back for a good idea! NICE JOB!
