Bryce Fletcher, Actor! (Mind of Margaret)

Bryce Fletcher (not his real name), body double to Hollywood sensation Hank Miller, *wants* to be a real actor, but there's one problem: he can't act. His ultimate achievement becomes starring in a deconstructionist arthaus film that focuses on the dichotomy of his terrible acting and his place as Miller's shadow. Victory..?

As Drew has said a few times, one of the very cool things about Mind of Margaret is that you can play fairly ordinary events in a way that's still very interesting because we're seeing it from the point of view of the conflicting emotions in the protagonist's head. Absolutely true.

We also did a good job of staying sympathetic to Bryce and his problems. I think that's critical to any "protagonist" game working.
Story Games Seattle was rebooted in March 2010 as a weekly public meetup group for playing GMless games. It ran until March 2018, hosting over 600 events with a wide range of attendees.

Our charter was: Everyone welcome. Everyone equal. No experience necessary.
