The Ship of Stories
It’s time for the Annual Games again, time to choose a new Narrator for the Ship of Stories. The Archetypes are all out of their halls and mingling here in the lobby, waiting for the stages to be set in the different story rooms, the choices to be made. You know your task: to earn as many points by the end of your story arc as possible while searching for the Perspex Gem. It is the tool with which The Narrator steers the ship, directs the stories, and sets the tone for all the travelers and archetypes aboard.
Your fellow travelers have mostly already chosen their vessels for the game, and only a few options remain to you. You’re sure you could win with any of them, though. Perspective and Narration could be yours soon!
Who will you be?
[The Princess] The Princess has far more than nobility of birth going for her; it takes some serious dedication and strength to endure all that the various (and nefarious) Narrators have inflicted on her through the ages. Nobody ever claims it will be easy being The Princess - you might be called on to silently weave shirts of nettles for seven years, or be harangued constantly by The Wicked Stepmother - but The Narrator is sure to come up with a classic story arc for you, and you can think of lots of ways to earn points in this role.

[The Mad Scientist] Yes, yesssss! Who better to determine the tone and set the course for the Ship of Stories than a scientist gleefully creating monstrosities and twisting the forces of nature to do his bidding?! Nothing shall stand in the way of your SCIENCE!

[The Detective] What we have here is a real mystery, and it’s going to take some serious brainwork to figure this out. A sharp mind, keen observational skills, and a penchant for addictive substances are all sure to work in your favor.
