Setup and Launch
A two-person warmup. One is Actor A (the feeder), the other is Actor B (the picker). Keep the pace brisk — no long pauses.
Play
- Actor A names 3–5 locations.
- Actor B picks one.
- Actor A names 3–5 characters.
- Actor B picks two.
- Actor A invents as many conflicts as possible between those two characters in that location.
- Swap roles: now B feeds, A picks.
Key rules
Don't judge your own offers — take the first thing that comes.
A conflict is a clash of desires, goals, or values — not just an argument.
The picker trusts their gut, doesn't hunt for the "best" option.
Pace beats quality: a long pause kills the warmup.
