Flow of Play
Once Revealed, a player describes how
they deal with the obstacle.
The Chef ’s Kissinger responds by
describing how the World reacts.
Another Player adds a narrative flourish
or detail, then rolls a d6.
On a 6, the dice explodes and roll again.
Any further 6 results also explode.
Diegetically incorporate exploding dice
into narrative beats.
When rolling an exploded die, everyone
says aloud,
“Fuck YOU, Henry Kissinger.”
Add all results together. The Chef ’s
Kissinger explains what the number means
using any method or justification they wish.
The Chef ’s Kissinger decides
the narrative outcome.
If the dice explode once, the other Players
decide the narrative outcome.
If the dice explode twice or more, the
active Player decides the narrative
outcome.
At the conclusion of the scene,
rotate the Chef ’s Kissinger.
