SET-UP

For when you've been emotionally changed by a live music event and need an outlet for that shit. SET-UP takes you through a series of writing prompts, fuelled by a setlist and your own experience of a gig, to generate details on a character, an event, and what happens next. You can play this with an existing character in an existing setting, or use it to create something new.

You'll need the setlist, a way to play the songs on it, a d6 and another die that roughly matches the number of songs on the list. Or pick another method of randomising the songs. As a tribute to everything DIY and the spirit of working with what you have, SET-UP is deliberately a bit messy. My hope is that it encourages you to embrace imprecision and self-indulgence.

I made this after being wholly remade as a person by American rock band My Chemical Romance at Milton Keynes on the 22nd of May 2022. That's not relevant to the content of the final product but it's also very important.
