The Cru gathers for our annual breakfast episode and play a little game with our prompting. This week's prompts come from the Story Engine, a card deck story prompt generator. We each used cards to create a story we'd like to write, then had fun rearranging each other's stories. This led to a discussion on how much structure we like to have in a prompt, as well as how having a plot for a prompt changes the way we approach creating fiction. Stories begin at the 17:30 mark and include a tourist to our world; a librarian with a cursed book; an idol, revealing the details of an arcane weapon; and a doctor who has to get rid of a letter.
