Behind the Magic
Behind the Magic is an improvised role-playing fantasy adventure set in the world you create by building your own setting, creating characters (no facilitator needed), performing scenes interspersed with reality television style "confessional" videos from a bard documenting their journey. The game involves selecting quests and participating as players acting out scenarios until satisfied or making things worse while improvising real-world events for the audience to watch on an improvised set up in front of no one (but they'll need chairs).
