I haven’t mingled in this community much, but I’ve begun playing story games about once a month with a group in the Seattle area. I follow some of the Gauntlet podcasts (Thank You!!) and hope to find the time and chutzpah to try online gaming here.

My question for everyone right now is this: Do you know of a game that does something like the following?

Separate storylines for characters are created and played out.

Well into the arc of these stories they begin to intersect.

This is the barest sketch of a description but it is probably familiar as it is a literary device we encounter in the books of David Mitchell among others. Plenty of movies take this approach too, but I am horrible at referencing movies…

Anyway, Know of any games that use a device like this?

I mostly dabble in board game design, but I’m feeling inspired to work on a story game too.

Cordially,

Davey
