nursery rhythms ?

This is a great one! I love narrative games.
I guess you know "The Glass Mountain?" I'd imagine that would work fantastically for this kind of thing.
Would you include nursery rhythms with this particular title? They might function differently. They are short, rhythmical, and usually have some kind of form.

Is "Nursery Rhythms" one of your games? Cool name.

I wouldn't know Glass Mountain well enough to propose it as a story base to play.
Not very popular and I didn't hear it in childhood. I know it rather in the context of 'acquisiting the metaphor'.

But if someone picks it, anyone could play it after briefing and I guess it is a good story for that because of all ups and downs… ;)

"Is "Nursery Rhythms" one of your games?" No, but I'm guessing they would work fine in this game as a variant.

A friend of mine writes narrative scripts to be used for improvising. I should get him on here. We also used his scripts as a composition game. The scripts were put up on an online musicians community and anyone could use them to make music and record the results. Then after a deadline, all the submissions are listened to and ranked. The highest ranking one is the winner! More like a competition, and lots of work, but great fun!

Glass Mountain is known as a famous Polish fairy tale in the states. Now, I guess everyone thinks The Witcher is a Polish fairy tale.
