What it is about
Have you ever wanted to make your own meaningless PR statement ? Jealous of how easily corporations respond with cowardly drivel to ethical crises in their industry? Look no further! With this MILD LIB, you can make your own vacuous reaction to the incident of your choice, alone or with a friend! N o need to break your golden handcuffs and take any kind of moral stand —just fill in these blanks, and the statement you make will be so open to interpretation that it will be sure to please your fans and financiers alike! Simply have one player read aloud the word prompts on the MILD LIB sheet and write the other player’s answers on the appropriate line. If you’re playing on your own, flip to the matching key answer all of the prompts, then go back and fill them in yourselves. It couldn’t be easier! Who needs a public relations team and corporate lawyers when you have MILD LIBS! If you want to make your own MILD LIB, see the instructions on page 4 for advice, and the bottom of page 2 for licensing! This game is dedicated to everyone who has taken a stand, and to @lincodega for losing sleep so that Wizards of the Coast does too—their journalism can be found in outlets like Gizmodo . It is also dedicated to anyone who has ventured into the unknown to make their own original TTRPG system, and in particular to those in the Zine Month 2022 cohort.
