Sagas of the Noo Moon
From Equinox 69, a mixer leading to a creative game: Sagas of the Noo Moon, by Henri Picciotto (Hot)
Each participant was given part of a palindrome, and was instructed to find the other parts.
This was designed for 52 players, and divided them into ten teams.
The teams were then asked to write Noo Moon Sagas inspired by their palindromes, following specific instructions.
Instructions
(To be studied and read by the presenter. It would be helpful to have a helper to manage the timer.)
The palindromes
(Broken up into fragments. For a smaller gathering, delete the shorter palindromes, re-sequence the remaining fragments in alphabetical order, and copy/paste them into a word processor.)
The fragments
(In alphabetical order, so that the palindromes are not given to people consecutively. The presenter will need to cut the pages into four 2.5 inches high slips.)
The worksheet
(This is where the teams will write their sagas. The instructions are summarized at the top. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a tad too small. It would help to print on legal-size sheets if possible.)
The resulting stories
(when we played the game in Berkeley.)
