House of Reeds
House of Reeds is a map-drawing, GMless story-telling game for 2-6 players.  This is mostly a setting-agnostic kind of game, and gives players a lot of control over tone and theme, but most games are likely to be more bittersweet than cheerful; death and departure can be abrupt, the years pass quickly, and you cannot hold onto anything forever. House of  Reeds is directly inspired by Aaron Reed's interactive narrative 18 Cadence.
