Examples of Play
- Finding Home: Two Examples (pay what you want). Contains the following:
- Last Ship Out, in which three refugees from the Outside, all members of a cult who expected their world to die, find their way to Town. This is a fairly long example of play, showing how a serious game of Chuubo's might play out in the Pastoral genre with mortal PCs.
- Stray Gods, in which two gods, who possess mortal bodies on the weekends, engage in activities around Town such as … eating contests! This shorter example of play shows how Chuubo's can handle madcap comedy, using the Techno genre with (low-power) miraculous PCs.
- The Sun Smiles Down (Tumblr, spread over 7 posts)
- Four cuddly animals are shocked and horrified by mundane objects; inspired by Jenna's picture-book Invasion.
- A very silly example of play, in the Immersive Fantasy Horror! genre, with character sheets for all PCs.
