About This Game

*Chekhov’s Coupons* is an experimental writing exercise disguised as a game. Use these rules to practice wildly exaggerated versions of the principles of “Chekhov’s Gun” and “Plot Coupons”. These steps will take you through writing an extremely self-referential story, in which much more than just the rifles on the wall in act one will fire by act three. Contains rules for writing a story, as well as a complete sample story using these rules. Made for the Bad Art Jam. 22 pages + cover.
