A Tale Bespoke
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
A game of friendly balladry,
For keen and winsome folk.
Within: eschew banality,
And spin a tale bespoke.
A system for collaboratively creating a new ballad in the tradition of traditional English and Scottish ballads. Un-playtested, but probably playable in a long-ish night with a determined GM or over a few shorter sessions.

A game that combines ballad writing and free form storytelling. Each character is introduced by a stanza, and the players collaboratively add verses to the ballad as stories are told in the game. I like the inclusion of character prompts and plot hooks that jumpstarts the story at the beginning.
