D.A.C. (department of accident and crisis)

This is a fun game design that helps the players to develop their own peculiar short stories. It is a writing exercise with prompts of filling out a form with who, where, what, when, and how. The character is defined by the cards in the categories of “species”, “profession”, “crisis”, “locale”, and “name”. 

​

This is inspired by short stories I wrote around my meditation on how a mechanical camera a train and how a train is a mechanical camera. Reverse engineering the thought process, I developed a set of rules and key elements for a story writing exercise.
