A Gygaxian Storygame
Gazetteer is what happens when you hold OSR crowdsourcing¸ sometimes called "Gygaxian democracy" in one hand¸ new-fangled online Storygaming in the other¸ and scream "NOW KISS". It is a game of map-detailing and collaborative storymaking¸ functioning by means of questions and answers. It is led by a facilitator who is required to talk like a pompous blowhard of an explorer throughout. For the players¸ it is a game of creative writing - and specifically¸ writing about being dragged by a ridiculous boss into misadventure in pursuit of new horizons and material for his travelogues.
Game prep for a given run-through is half an hour; the entirety of the rules and guidelines¸ advice and examples¸ is fifteen pages. For the players¸ prep is reading or listening to about a page worth of text. No character creation¸ no fiddly bits.
Like its mechanical predecessors¸ Doomed Pilgrim and Atop A Lonely Tower¸ it is engineered to be playable on Facebook¸ on Discord¸ or via other social media; Gazetteer itself is also built to be playable in-person. Played online¸ it requires a small group of interested players¸ a middling crowd of casual "I'll throw a little bit in here" visitors¸ or (often) some mix of both.
