What it is about
This is a GMless game that can be played by 1-4 players. All you need is a deck of cards. You could play this with existing characters on a night the GM needs a break, or tell a stand alone story. You can set the mood and themes for this story as well. Each suit of the deck represents a Caller who leaves a message on the Missing Person's answering machine. I wrote this game after reading about the play Cigarettes and Chocolate by Anthony Minghella. I'm sure I'll come back to this and change up some of the prompts but I was encouraged to post it as is. Please let me know if you give it a try!
