as this game is played / an epic poem's made

play as two traveling bards improvising an epic poem about their adventures, and the historian(s) distilling that poem into a coherent narrative.

if you like wordplay, rhymes, collaboratively making up stories on the fly, and mis-interpreting other people (either intentionally or unintentionally) then this is the game for you!
