Cynus Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) All right, it's time for a new game, everyone! This one was inspired by a meme I came across today, and it's pretty much self explanatory, but I'll give you the basics, anyway.A person selects a page number, then provides a scenario, like this:Pick up the closest book to you and turn to page 43. The first sentence describes your love life. Post it.Then, you can either let the scenario continue, or choose a new one. You don't have to limit yourselves to sentences, either. You can use paragraphs, or dialogue, or just the first word. Have fun coming up with new scenarios and posting them. New Rule; if the first qualifying sentence really doesn't work, just keep going until you find a good one.Here's one to start us off:Pick up the closest book to you and turn to page 12. The first sentence of the first complete paragraph describes you eating habits. Post it. Here's my answer: It's unfortunate but true: Vessels that adventurers embark on seem to meet bad ends with distressing predictability. - Stormwrack Edited April 3, 2016 by Cynus 1 Link to comment
