pago en especie

it is a game in which terrible things, one way or another, are revealed, and someone will have to lose.

it is played by one or more monsters, who want these stories, and one or fewer human beings, who do not want them. (these numbers are approximate.)

it is played by telling stories that someone asked for, until, one way or another, one of you has had enough.

it can be played in any medium that allows exchanging words.

it can be played in any world where you decide to make it work.

Remember: One person asking questions doesn’t mean either of them isn’t learning something. Remember to wonder: Is what’s being revealed anything the other ever could have wanted them to know?

pago en especie is a two-player storytelling game about the worst things that have ever happened to someone; probably, but not necessarily, one of you. It must be played with one or more monsters. It can be played with one human being, or less than that, if you want. 

It is a game where one person asks questions, and the other cannot hide from them. It can be won. It must be lost.
