Crazy Train is a roleplaying game where the GM must spend his resources in order to make sure that the plot is followed faithfully and the reluctant heroes make it to the end of their journey.

HOW DO YOU START?

The first thing the game needs is a story. The GM decides on 2 things first: What is the genre of the story(post-acolyptic horror, tolkien fantasy, etc etc) and how many protagonists(Determined by the players available) there are. After that, the GM writes the story broken up into specific parts called “Story points”, which are either PC Decisions or Scene Framing.

PC Decisions are a description of what choice the PC makes and what happens afterward. Refer to the PC as its players name because the PC’s haven’t been created yet and we therefore know nothing about them. Scene Framing is the description of a new scene, what it looks like and what is going on in it.

Write 6-12 Story points and you’re done with a Story that you can play out with your friends! Note that you have Resource Points equal to three times your Story Points.

It’s a game about what happens when your girlfriend decides she’d rather kill you than break up.

The Boy, portrayed by the Player. He’s a pretty run of the mill shmuck, most noticeable for his considerable lack of knowledge of what his girlfriends feels about or does to him.

The Girlfriend, portrayed by the GM. She’s one of those girls that just won’t step out of a bad thing no matter how much she hates it, paired with a tendency to not take her meds. This leads to tonight’s entertainment…
