Who, What, When, Why, Where generators?
I got the Avatar Legends starter set for Christmas and I'm really excited to get into it! There's an Adventure Booklet, but I'd rather create my own adventures so I'm sitting there, tapping my pen thinking, "So...what's the angle? What actually happens to get the story started?"
I pulled out my trusty Loner 2E book because on page 9 there is a wonderfully simple scene starter. Roll 6D6 and randomly assign the dice to columns for Who, What, Why, Where (target), How & Obstacle. - I got Authority, Exploit, Revenge, Person, Old Acquaintance, & Time. Do you see it? I totally see it! My group is being coerced by a crooked cop or politician to go after an old grudge at an upcoming event so they can take revenge with a clean alibi.
I love this sort of thing! I know Loner isn't the only game to do this, but I haven't seen it anywhere else. What other games/systems/oracles have this 5Ws idea to generate stories?
