The Archive
Players collaboratively imagine a world by writing a small archive of tangentially related documents. They take turns writing a document, adding it to the archive, and then mailing the whole archive to the next player. By the end, the archive is full of fictional primary sources set in a new and exciting world. Play to keep in touch with fiction-loving pals, or to kick off an upcoming homebrew role-playing game. This is a game for lovers of world-building without exposition!
