Interest Check - Story Game

I've always been a fan of these... wanted to see if any fellow Rinkies wanted to try a round?

The basic rules of the game, of course, is that someone starts the story, the next person continues on, and so forth. A nice local example would be what Sam and Dave did with "Duel of the Ages", though that was a bit specialized because the characters were already well developed beforehand.

However, in this version (that i'm pitching to interested ones), each person will be given at least two conditions that have to be added/subtracted from the story on their turn. The challenge comes in incorporating those conditions. (For instance, one condition might be 'New Character - Angry Chef' or 'New Location - Denver Junkyard', or alternatively 'Subtract 1 Character'). I've been brainstorming a number of ideas to regulate and keep the storyboarding interesting, including creating a randomizer in Smash for the conditions.

I would think that, at best, and depending on how many people are interested, not much would be required timewise, perhaps 10 or 20 minutes when the turn roles around, once or twice a week tops.

Anyone interesting in pursuing this idea?
