I'm doing some prep to demo some systems for a long game (20-ish episodes/sessions) with my friends! The plan is to get the vibe of 3 systems in 3 hours, whew.
What's the shortest amount of time y'all have tried to show off a game to someone? Besides an elevator pitch, that is

We played through a LARP that I spun up in my head, inspired by Gibberers: what if you only spoke very little of a language?
To mimic that, we had players only speak with words that are 3 letters or less.
The scenario? Poor translators arranged peace talks between their nations. So fun!

Raja Gopal Bhattar got me crying: "... like the rituals can look different in different places, and that's actually okay, because partially what it means to be in the diaspora is we get to reimagine our practices and traditions, and that's what it means to be in the world that we are in today."

If you're in the Chicago area, I HIGHLY recommend you check out the show that James and the rest of the Imps are cooking (are all the players Imps? I didn't ask)
I was lucky enough to sit in on their first rehearsal, and it has the joys of actual play and improv layered like a delectable trifle 1/5

Hey heroes!
On December 10th at the iO Theater, I am premiering a new RPG-based improv show.
I'm developing the form with the cast right now, and I know it's going to be so much fun to watch. Also, look at how incredible my cast is!

Playing Gibberers and thinking about its relationship to Dialect REALLY has me thinking about what sort of game Fight Card wants to be.
Man, do I really enjoy both Dialect and Gibberers, which both approach language creation in different ways. And unfortunately, I'm looking at them with GNS in mind
