Showrunner

Showrunner is for anyone who has always wondered what happens behind the scenes of a TV show and wants to try running one. You do not just watch series here, you decide what the show is about, who stars in it and how it gets made. The mood is relaxed, with a bit of dry humor about the industry, and nothing is rushed. What to expect: - The first hours go into naming your show and picking a genre and theme, and you quickly start arguing with yourself about what audiences will actually want to watch. - Scripts come together from scene cards, and each new card shifts how the story feels, so no two shows play out the same. - Characters are built from scratch: archetype, look, perks, and then casting an actor who fits them. - You assemble and manage your own crew, swap people around and give them rest, because their energy runs out fast. You can buy Showrunner here as a Steam gift for the Global region: the bot adds you as a friend using your quick invite link and sends the game to your account as a gift.

Craft scripts Lay out episode scripts by playing scene cards, defining the overall story structure.
