Posted 8/25/23
Roll a die three times, to give yourself three random numbers from 1 to 6. Got 'em? Each number will correspond to a section below. The first number will be your choice from the first set of six below, the second result will be your choice for the second set below, etc. Got it? Okay, here we go.
Your character:
1. a dog
2. a traveling salesman
3. a religious fanatic
4. a teleworker
5. a truck driver
6. a motorcyclist
Is facing a big decision:
1. get married?
2. buy a house?
3. move across country?
4. join the military?
5. sell the boat?
6. plan for a child?
But there’s always a wrinkle:
1. not enough money.
2. no car.
3. can’t leave the house.
4. too busy.
5. no partner.
