Playing Indie RPGs where joint story telling and role playing is the key, instead of GM-run hack-and-slash. Could be a game of Microscope where anything goes (from epic space opera to World War 2 drama to fantastic) and the focus shifts to points of interest, or perhaps a game of Fiasco where the fun is in watching the story unfold in unexpected ways. Imagination and communication is key!

We play Settlers of Catan, its expansions and variants.
