Game Play

This is a game that was played using the first version of the rules (almost identical to the current version). The "IC" or in-character stuff tells the story; the "OOC" or out-of-character stuff is socializing and the technical end of things, which isn't particularly interesting. What's fun about the Shadow of Yesterday is that this was all improvised, and it came together really well with about five minutes of prep. (In most RPG's, a lot of prep is required, and even then it doesn't work out this nicely.)

I was kind of scared running the game, because Clinton, the game's designer, was playing! But it worked out pretty well!
