About: You All Meet in a Cell   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

This is kind of like You All Meet in An Inn, except instead of the players beginning in a inn, they start off in some form of captivity for no apparent reason. The characters must then escape imprisonment, and find out why. The theme in RPGs and writing is that imprisonment is instant motivation ("get out of here"), and that they can work out the details of why later. It also gives reason why people who wouldn't normally like each other are pulling together. Similar to a Closed Circle, and a common way to Gather Characters. Examples of You All Meet in a Cell include:

Can lead to the Great Escape, Boxed Crook, or Condemned Contestant. May be used to justify a No-Gear Level. In Tabletop Games, You All Meet in a Cell usually goes poorly, as the characters have no reason to stick together once they escape their confinement, and often don't. At least when You All Meet in An Inn, any character who isn't inclined to join up with the group will leave immediately, instead of one or two sessions in. Examples of You All Meet in a Cell include:
