How it Works One player is the balladeer, who starts singing a ballad about an audience suggestion. The other players actually play what the balladeer sings about, in slow motion. This is actually group story-building, as the players are inspired by the what the balladeer sings (obviously) but also, their actions can/should inspire the balladeer. Notes You're not limited to ballads, of course. The same Handle can be used for a Long Form structure: see Balladeer(2) . | ||
