Reunion
By Yoshi Creelman, Andy Munich & Jenn Martin
Status: Playtesting
Reunion is about a group coming back together after a long time apart. We were once close, but went our separate ways. Groups like sorority sisters, gaming groups, mutant squads, teenage mech pilots, the Queen's retinue, families, ghosts and more. We use two types of questions to establish shared history as well as how our characters have changed since. We use the tools like the X card to help care for ourselves and each other. We'll tell the story of who we were then, and who we are now.
Doing The Job

After 35 years in the business, "The Queen of Pain" Latisha Chains is hanging up the boots and retiring from professional wrestling. In her honor, Runnels County Wrestling has assembled a special 16-person invitational tournament to crown... THE QUEEN'S CUP CHAMPION. You have all been booked to participate in this prestigious tournament. You have NOT been booked to WIN this tournament. This is a story about people who lose. This is NOT a story about losers. Players will take turns answering questions about their experiences in the tournament, their feelings towards the other wrestlers, and how they view the person destined to win the Queen's Cup at the end of the night. When all is said and done, it's up to you to decide: was the pain of losing (and the pain you put your body through) worth the experience of being here?
