Improv Game - Story Spine

Post Reply New Topic

Practically the only way I socialize is to play improv games. Here's one I think could work on a message board.
I'll start and then someone add to it and so on.

Once upon a time... there was a guy who would only travel by way of jumping rope.
Every day...
But, one day...
Because of that...
Because of that...
Because of that... n
Until, finally...
And, ever since then...

So what does the next poster do exactly?

You quote what I wrote and to the next line Every day
and leave the next line for the next person to add to the story.
In real life, we stand in a circle. One person starts "once upon a time" and then says something they made up like "there was a talking car" and then the next person builds on it and says something like, "every day the talking car would spill the secrets of its passengers." Then the next person would at to it and saying something like, "But, one day, the passengers told the car that they were going to duct tape shut its mouth, if they could find its mouth."
And it goes on like that. until the line "And ever since then...."
I hope I explained it okay.
Thanks for asking.

It all seems a bit complicated to me.

Okay

Once upon a time there was a guy who traveled by jumping rope-that is- he never walked. He would jump over a jump rope to move forward. Then one day he said "frig this stuff" and declared he was giving up his jump rope obsession. Everyone was pleased....until he announced that instead he was traveling by pogo stick. He then embarked upon a pogo stick journey across the length of the USA.

But one day an officer stopped him in Allentown Pennsylvania for pogoing in a non-jumping zone and gave him a warning instead of a ticket.
Because of that........

...the thread got moved from General Autism Discussion to Off the Wall: Forum Games, Quizzes, Roleplaying, etc., and then...

A drone swooped down, stole his ticket, so then.........
