I had an idea for a narrative game while watching Nosferatu. Not my usual deal. Jotting down the idea as a microblog for posterity.
The game is called...
Cargo: Boxes of Carpathian Soil
The game is on a boat, taking an odd shipment from the Old World.
One player is the vampire. All other players are sailors.
The game is played out in a series of scenes between the vampire and one sailor. Only these two players talk each scene, but all the other players listen silently.
Each scene, the sailor tells the vampire their life story, then asks the vampire 1 question about theirs. At the end of the exchange, the vampire and story-teller vote simultaneously.
If even one player in the pair votes "negative," the vampire devours the sailor. The sailor describes how they're killed. It's probably messy.
If they both vote "positive," the vampire allows himself to be caught by the story. The vampire dies, crying, stepping into the sun.
