Service Station Wars (Pt. 1 of 2)
Manage episode 451075174 series 3311260
Wow, look, a hit new ttrpg! Let's play it! So cool!
Is there anywhere more special than a motorway service station? After a long drive spent staring fixedly at the rear of the car in front of you and wishing that it would get lost, a motorway service station is an even more welcome sight than a piece of gum stuck in the hair of someone you hate. And it’s as good for your body and soul as the loos in your office block that no one else knows about where you can go for a quiet worktime poo. Everything you need, all under one roof, and with two hours’ free parking to boot. Heaven.
But what if you worked at a motorway service station and so did lots of other people, and what if you formed into two factions along seemingly arbitrary lines, and what if you went to war over an apparently trivial slight? What then would happen to this concrete paradise, this haven for the weary motorist, this sacred space?
Service Station Wars is a game about that.
