Welcome to Story Games

This site is here to introduce you to story games. Story Games are similar to role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, if you took out (most of) the combat focus and added some long-form improv theater, or just plain storytelling, in its place. Most of these games are played around a table, by describing what happens in the story, possibly taking on a role of one or more characters in the story, and acting those characters out.

A Story Games Primer

If you've played role-playing games, then all that about sitting around the table and stuff probably sounds pretty old hat and vague to you. How's that different from what you're doing already? On the other hand, if you've got no related game experience and have just come here from a story-gaming forum wondering what the heck they were all talking about, you might want some of the same things clarified. Whichever of those people you are, this section is for you.
