Muse Add-Ons and Variations

Muse is a game written by Jonathan Benn, with much input and discussion from my side. I'm going to use this page to collect additional rules and variations I've created for the game.

• Epilogue Phase

An add-on for Muse.

• Combined Ending Variant

An add-on for Muse.

• Major Events

A major addition to Muse, changing the game significantly. Major Events replace Endings and all related rules.

• Kitchen Muse

A version of Muse similar to "Major Events", but designed as less of a competitive game. It is centered around "elements" named by the players, and the design aims to support focused storytelling and coherence in regards to plot. I wrote this for Jonathan Benn as a housewarming gift, and thus tried as much as I could to hit his design goals, albeit with my own approach.

• Alternative Setting Phase

A structured method to create a beginning situation and set of a characters for a story. Written as an add-on for Muse, but it could be used for a variety of purposes, such as for generating ideas for RPG scenarios or brainstorming concepts for creative writing.
