Annie and the Creature: A Solo Roleplaying Game About Mattering

Annie and the Creature 

A Solo Role-playing Game About Mattering

By Wendy Wiseman Fisher

Before you begin, boop yourself on the nose. 

You are a fantasy creature on a mission to help the spirit of love, whose name is Annie. Annie has been trapped underneath the earth, and she needs help to rise up through the soil and continue her work aboveground. Describe what your creature looks like. 

Pick one thing. Maybe a rock, maybe a mailbox, or maybe a cat. Explain to it one reason why it matters to you, and tell it one thing you know about it. Ask it if it has anything to say to you. Listen for an answer. Blow it a kiss and wish it farewell. 

Then, if you wish, repeat this cycle until you feel you are done. You can stop at one or you can repeat the cycle as many times as you like. 

When you're done, say goodbye to the fantasy creature you have occupied, know that Annie, the spirit of love, has risen closer to the surface of the earth, and boop yourself on the nose.
