OverviewForecast is a tool to determine the weather when playing collaborative storygames.


Forecast comes as a set of six double sided cards. It's designed to be randomless, but you can dice if you wish.


Each card fits onto a 3x5-inch index card. If your group is exploring one area together, just one card is needed on the table. If your characters are in different places you can use multiple cards.

Setup

You will need:

• six tokens.

SETUP

At the start of the day lay the six forecast cards in front of you.

Choose a card, then choose either side.


Playing The Game

PLAY

At each stage of the day place a token over a weather condition.

Discard the card once all boxes are filled.

You may use the card's reverse to track the night's weather.

Extending The System

Forecast is part of a series of tools designed to mechanise asynchronous narrative play - that is, one table's players and characters can be in different places or times.

Watchkeepcan be used directly with Forecast as a means to track the stages of the day.

Key & Token provides additional context for creating scenes and playing keywords in a scene. It comes with a simple character sheet.

Marauder is a tool to create point-crawl adventures and map networks of relationships. It doesn't plot the actual, real-world position of a narrative focus, though you can indicate things like distance.

Marauder uses the terms Vertices, Edges, and Weights. This terminology is borrowed from Graph Theory, but generally, people would refer to these as 'nodes'.

A narrative focus can be anything from a location, to a person or to an object. In play, you move character tokens between points on the map and interact with them through roleplay.

Myriad is a randomless narrative oracle system. Use it when playing GM-less, narrative games.
