Mages and Mooks or Spellballs: Magic Hates You, A Role-playing Game of Dealing with It
This prompt is a creative writing exercise, asking the writer to imagine an adventure set in medieval Japan with characters who are skilled at sword fighting and archery. The story involves two samurai warriors searching for their missing comrade during winter nights when it's too cold or dark outside; they receive help from another adventurer traveling on horseback named Miyuki Ogino after he overhears a group of thieves planning to attack the Shogunate in Kyoto that night, which leads them together into investigating and defeating these criminals. The story ends with one character leaving for home while the other decides whether she wants her adventure friend's sword as payment or something else entirely (i.e., both characters are equally skilled at combat).Errata: "I hope you get a good time playing characters who really just do things." This is not accurate; it sounds like an invitation to write about people with magical abilities, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're doing something amazing or interesting in the story.
