brokenpictureidenticardIf you’re not familiar with the game Broken Picture Telephone, try here.

So, the rules/ steps:
1.Sign up on this post;
2. There will be a separate post for the actual game;
3. When it is your turn, you will receive either a prompt for artwork or artwork to describe;
4. If you receive artwork, describe that artwork. Get as funky as you’d like! Write a fic drabble, write a sentence, whatever you have time for. But please give the next link something to work with. None o' this, "Um, colors like a Chagall but pecs in the style of Rothko;"
5. That description will be sent on as a prompt to an artist;
6. Yes, you. You are an artist if we say you are. SILENCE, BRAINWEASELS, YOU HAVE NO PLACE HERE;
7. There is NO rule seven;
8. There are arbitrary Monty Python references, because there are in the comics. It’s canon;
9. Post that artwork as a comment on the gameplay post. All comments will be screened;
10. The artwork from step 9 will be DM’d to the next player, who will describe it;
11. Two-day turnaround. If you go over your deadline or the timing is not great right now, you’ll go to the back of the line and receive a new prompt/ artpiece later;
12. Eleven turns per game, variances to be determined by Your Friendly Neighborhood BPI mods, Antrodemus and IronLawyer. All comments on the game post will be automatically screened, and on Reveal Day, we’ll unscreen them.
13. All comments that are not actual gameplay should go on this post, for now. All gameplay posts should go on the gameplay post. We’ll DM participants with the link of the comment to which they should reply, if DW lets us do this;
14. Once each round is revealed, you are welcome and encouraged to post your contributions on AO3. If you want to remix or use a prompt, you should probably ask the author/ artist for permission, though;
15. No discussion of prompts or artwork until the round is posted;
16. Stony-themed only, for now;
17. BE NICE. That includes to yourself. “I wasn’t sure about this bit,” is as critical as you’re allowed to get, and that includes yourself;
18. When we say, “be nice,” we don’t necessarily mean “SFW’.” In fact, NSFW is encouraged;
EDITS:
RULE 19: ALL PROMPTS AND FILLS SHOULD RELATE TO STEVE, TONY, STONY, OR THE AVENGERS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. That's a pretty important rule to have left out! Sorry, all!
Rule 20: Macros of scenes from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies had darn well better relate to your prompts in some manner. Look, it makes sense to mention this. Trust us.
Rule 21: No, really. Trust us. Just not too much.
You may message either of us through Discord under these names comment on the Dreamwidth entry, or message Antro under her Dreamwidth name,spikethemuffin. You are also encouraged to leave comments on this post.
Have fun with it. That’s a suggestion, not a rule.
Questions? Suggestions? Bribes? We’re here for you.
FAQ:
Okay, HAQ. Hypothetically Asked Questions: We don’t actually have any questions, let alone frequent ones.
Q. : How “good” does the artwork have to be?
A: :Good? Artwork? Honey, have you SEEN my scribblings? [Antro is sent on time-out for violation of rule 17.] Stick figures are fine. In fact, if it’s confusing or ambiguous, so much the better for purposes of the game. Also, just so we’re clear, while we’re on the subject, any medium is good. MS paint? Pencil sketch? Photo manip? Twist ties turned into action figures in tiny dioramas? Hired male strippers in a series of tableaux? The sky is the limit. (Literally. Actual skywriting is prohibitively expensive and may violate rule 15.) Just make it something we can easily forward and post via Dreamwidth.
Q: Should I post questions about how to play on gameplay posts?
A: For now, post questions here, on this post, or ask us directly on Discord.
So. G-g-g-g-go!

Date: 2019-11-16 06:42 pm (UTC)In my head, I call you "Amethyst" because in the language of stones, "amethyst" means "truth" and so does Tony.
...and I literally realized by virtue of that comment that I haven't taken my ADHD meds. Anyway, welcome!
Sure, I'll give it a try.
Date: 2019-11-14 04:05 am (UTC)So does everyone end up both arting and describing? Or only one or the other? I am up for either or both, given these lack of quality standards for arting.
Re: Sure, I'll give it a try.
Date: 2019-11-15 07:02 pm (UTC)Shoot! Remind me to order thigh boots and riding crops. That's an admin thing, right? BRB, got to look up if that was an actual LAN party I attended in the 90's or I got the address wrong again.
