Starting Play

Choose a Frame Playbook

You must select one Frame Playbook. The Frames of Government are an archetype of governing documents or institutions. They are shaped and changed by the thoughts and desires of the common people, those in power, and other entities with political will. They have principles that align or not with their Political Bodies that will rise and fall in power during their existence.

The Available Frames are:

The Supreme Law a Fundamental Rule: a living document of governance.

Create the Frame

The Frame is generic. There are many ways to utilize the same Frame for many different outcomes. You will answer questions about your Frame of Government and understand which Ideals it was founded upon.

After choosing your frame, answer the opening questions about your Frame's creation. Describe the people who founded the Frame and add three Ideals to describe it's starting foundation.

Draw how your Frame is represented. This could be a gavel, scales, a document, or some other object. Make this large enough to adjust as the Frame is changed. Your drawing is to be a visual reference and may not be accurate to the vision you have in your head. That's okay.

Take a breath

Once you are done creating, answering questions, and drawing your Frame, close your eyes and take a deep breath. You will now be roleplaying as your created Frame of Government. From now on, when the game refers to "you", you will respond as the Frame of Government. Clear your head and organize your thoughts.
