Discovering the Fable Types

Lovecraftian fairy tales.

Yep. That's what my dreams are.

As I edit each piece in this mosaic of short stories, I am coming to understand the fantastical nature of each. Also, I am beginning to see that each mini arc is providing a momentary conclusion for the players within it.

For example, in Neuth as Directed by Atum-Ra, the Fable Type is Courtship Rites. The Players are Girl, Boy, Servant, and Magic Item. The Theme is Sanctuary.

In Viewing from On High, the Fable Type is Spirit Quest, Players are Wizard, Cultists, and Death. The Theme is the Puzzle of Knowledge.

I might continue breaking these down in the future, if only for the fun of it!
