Playwriting: Cool writing prompt!

Cool writing prompt! playwriting

Just wanted to share this, because it's fun and I've gotten a ton of story ideas from it. The newest edition of the board game Balderdash (you get an obscure word and have to make up a definition that's convincing enough that people will believe it) has a category for movie titles. In the game, you get a title (usually a bizarre obscure one) and have to come up with a plot that goes with the title. I just started playing the movie category by myself and came up with some really cool premises, one of which I'm going to turn into a play. I highly recommend it!

What a good idea! I love Balderdash, but haven't seen that version. Now I'm going to go look. Thanks for sharing, Alanna!

No prob! Most of the Balderdash copies they sell now are this edition and it's really fun and helpful.
