Behind the Magic

In Behind the Magic, you’ll create a fantasy mockumentary by playing a group of incompetent adventurers on a quest to save the world. Players take turns setting up and acting out scenes in character. These scenes are interspersed with reality-television style "confessionals" with the Bard who is documenting their journey. The scenes themselves feel like structured improv, without an audience. Each scene has a question or tension embedded in it and players act it out until they're satisfied. Example: The party tries to calm down the mayor after accidentally burning down the town.
