In This World

A small game of big ideas, by Ben Robbins, the creator of Microscope.

Nations have borders.
Police carry badges.
Dragons breathe fire.
You work for money.

That's the world we've come to expect. But in this world—the world we create together—we can question those assumptions and imagine alternatives. And instead of just making one world, we'll make a whole string, each exploring a different slice of what could be… all in a few hours.

In This World is a fast game of big creativity, designed from the ground up so that anyone can play it, even someone who has never tried any kind of story game before.

• Three to five players, with optional rules for two.
• No experience necessary. Anyone can play and have fun.
• Everyone gets to contribute equally. No game master.
• No prep. Just sit down and play.

This is a standalone game, but you can also use it as a springboard for worldbuilding for other systems or to fire up your Session Zero.
