two-person play
TRANSCRIPT
A A Little Something ExtraLittle Something ExtraTwo-Person PlayIf you want to play with just two people, you can either have one PC and one GM, or make two PCs and share the GM role of introducing complications and narrating down beats for each other.
One PC, One GMAt character creation, invent two or three NPCs and answer the Relationships questions for your playbook as if they were PCs. Assign them zero, one, or two starting Strings, as you would for a PC.
Without other PCs, you have fewer options for clearing Conditions, since no one can roll to give you Emotional Support. As a variant rule, each time that you are vulnerable with an NPC who is offering you emotional support, give them a String on you and pick an option from the Emotional Support move as if they were a PC who had rolled 7–9.
Two PCs, Shared GMNo rules changes are needed, though you could introduce an important NPC or two and include them in the Relationships and starting Strings. It’s up to you how much you share the GM role: you could have a lead GM, take turns, or fully share responsibilities.
Random TablesBreak out your dice and roll up some randomness with the tables on the following pages!
While some tables require only one sixsided die, others are numbered 11 through 66. To use these tables, roll two sixsided dice, using the first die for the tens digit and the other for the ones digit.
