Everywhere you go in society, just beyond the corner of your eyes and under every step you walk are tendrils of the past, of futures that never happened, of broken things, and of things not born. They’re all lost stories. Some of them can nearly push themselves into reality. Writers, artists, musicians, lovers, and in thin spaces are all rich opportunity for a Lost Story to become real in one way or another. Don’t you want to get your sheepskin? Don’t you want to finally be a real story? That’s what all the other Lost Stories call it “Getting the Sheepskin”. The achievement of no longer being a Lost story and instead becoming real.
The idea behind this game, is that you are a Lost Story, and rather than fading from existence forever you want to become real. To become real, you need to use your Weight to push through into a Person's consciousness and getting your Sheepskin (a euphemism used by Lost Stories to talk about graduating to being a 'real story').
This is a simple, family-friendly game for 2+ players aged 9+ years (mostly because younger than that age I expect children won't get the themes of the game).
