[QUOTE="Ulfgeir, post: 9359780, member: 7015719"] Basically, all you need is some method of determining who the characters are, and some rules for basic interaction between characters. A basic setting is needed. This can however be extemely vague. In theory you could start with something as small as an empty room, or a formless void depending on who the characters are...
