Storytelling gathers the games where the story is the mechanism rather than the wrapping: you read, you choose, you make things up. At one end sit party games about describing dreams or improvising with words; at the other, campaigns with paragraph books and decisions that stick. They suit people coming from role-playing games and anyone who wants to remember what happened when the next session starts.
The distance between the two ends is wide. When I Dream is the group game, 4 to 10 players, 40 minutes, age 8 and up. Escape the Dark Castle: Second Edition is a one-hour cooperative adventure with a gamebook feel. Tainted Grail: I Re della Rovina and Trudvang Legends are the long campaigns, rated 14 and up, the first with two-hour sessions and in Italian. Chronicles of Time (EDIZIONE ITALIANA) sits in the middle at 90 minutes.
uplay.it lists over 440 storytelling games available to order, with GateOnGames and Space Cowboys among the most represented publishers, in Italian and English.
