They're all two-player games about China that are written to be very supportive of online chat-based play, and the stories that they tell are limited to a single scene.

Shining Dodecahedron: Plotlines
http://bigd12.blogspot.com/2005/09/plotlines.html
One geek's views on role-playing and games in general. This place is all about discussing paper-and-pencil roleplaying games. I'm Jay. And I run this joint, but that doesn't make me smarter than you. This will all work best if I say things, and you say what you think about them, lather, rinse, repeat. With luck we can all understand the hobby a little better. If you have a topic that you would like me to start a thread about, post a comment here. What is a setting? A bit about setting. Being a Good Player.
