(Loosely) Scripted Mode: 2+ Players (2-8)
This gameplay Mode is played with the Signifier Mod and can be played with the Feedback Mod.
Use Fellowship of Fools to intentionally explore a prompt together, loosely scripting the conversation or story.
- Divide the Situation Cards evenly (or close enough) among the players. Each player selects one Situation Prompt they would like to explore with other players, either as themselves or through fictional storytelling. Players present their preferred Situation Prompts to each other and decide on one Situation Prompt to explore in more depth. Place this card with the chosen prompt upright on a table.
- If you are role-playing as someone besides yourself, disclose this before going forward. Discuss and decide if you will be playing with the Feedback Mod, if so, print and start Character Sheets for the other player(s) or find your old Character Sheets for the other player(s) and continue from where you left off.
- Divide the Topic Cards evenly (or close enough) among the players. Each player selects up to as many Topic Prompts as the number indicated next to the Situation Prompt in play. If they cannot find enough Topic Prompts they want to play within the Topic Cards they were given, they can choose from another player’s unchosen Topic Cards.
- When everyone has chosen their Topic Prompts, each player should organize their chosen prompts in the order they would like to ask them, but they can rearrange them throughout game play.
- The player with the next closest birthday goes first, choosing and reading aloud a Topic Prompt that they selected. They then answer the prompt for themselves within the context of the chosen Situation Prompt.
- After the first player has answered, the player clockwise takes the Topic Card of the prompt in play in hand and answers the same Topic Prompt for themselves within the context of the chosen Situation Prompt.
- Going clockwise, pass the Topic Card in play, each player taking the card in hand and answering the Topic Prompt until everyone has. When everyone has played the Topic Card, it is discarded next to the Situation Card in play.
- The player clockwise to the last player who started a Topic Prompt into play then brings their own Topic Prompt into play. First reading aloud the prompt and then answering it for themselves in the context of the Situation Prompt in play.
- Repeat steps 6-7.
- Repeat steps 8-9 until every Topic Card Prompt chosen by every player has been played or play is no longer desired.
- If players wish to continue the conversation/story after all Topic Cards chosen have been played, they may go back to step 3.
- Players can choose to use a different deck of FoF to bring other relationship dynamics into play, starting at Step 3.
