Prayers examined.
Jaakko wrote a highly positive review of Prayers in the latest issue of Roolipelaaja magazine. The only real negative part in it was a note on how the text looks unimpressive, as it is just a plain text document. This is intentional, however, as I want to offer the text in a format that is easy to edit and set for printing. A trade-off, really.

Furthermore, Eirik sent me a play report from the latest Norwegian run of Prayers yesterday. As it happened, only three of the 12 interested Kp organizers actually showed up. Yet they played it anyway! Intriguingly, the game's central concept seemed to survive even such a huge lack of players. The meanness stayed the same, and there wasn't much mobility. The plot bits became matters of small talk, as they could not be directed towards the right people, and remained more abstract because of it.

I would never have ran the game with such a small number of participants, but I am enamored with the fact that someone did, and sent me a report of it. It appears that with the right setting and mood, a mini-game can survive even an almost complete lack of plot. I must examine this further.
