Tonight's lead story
An RPG about a diner that feeds the lost.
Today's Specials is a GM-less narrative game played at the kitchen table. The diner travels space-time and lands wherever it's needed. One session, one job, four players or one.
The cards are the oracle. The job is the constraint. The story emerges in the moment between ingredients. There is no GM — there's a stack of playing cards, an index card, and your sketchbook.
A GM-less narrative game printed as the diner's house newspaper. Pick up a copy and read tonight's edition.
