SMALL STORYTELLING PROMPTS

for Downtime Roleplay in TTRPG Adventures

Designed to be a change of pace in an adventure or campaign in an existing system, Emergent Tales is a minigame for each character to take turns telling stories, providing very basic prompts as the seed for each one.

This may be a story from their past the player already knows about, one they improvise on the fly, or even imagining a tale told to them as a child that stuck with them.

It's a simple set of roleplaying tools. How you use them is up to you, as are the tales you weave, have fun!

THE MECHANICS

You roll a theme and an aspect of the story. From there, let creativity run wild. It's that simple.

For GMs, its mechanics can be used to include NPCs into the fun, and generally help push players towards engaging with more roleplay.

Optional rules can guide your players in relating stories to one another, expanding on ones they're telling, describing tales with mixed emotions, processing major in-game events, or these rules can be used in combination with one-another.
