While We Wait for Death
* This game is played with playing cards on an existing deck that simulates storytelling and gives prompts for direction when creating new characters. It can be used to tell stories about your RPG players' past, their shared history at campfires or in dungeons during desperate sieges; the point being they never know if this will become a storyteller's last night before death arrives on its horseback of inevitable doom.
