Odd Jobs, Long Nights, & Cold Mornings is a narrative game designed for crafting stories about adjacent acquaintances, professional respect, and catching feelings. It is designed for 2 (or 3) players and utilizes prompts and scene types to facilitate a narrative structure. 

One player is the Established, an old hand with known skills, respected in your shared social Circle and by those behind your newly shared Cause. The other player is the Rising, the up and coming hotshot with talent and ambition. You work well in tandem, and maybe even better in parallel. 

The work is dangerous and fraught. What tensions and frictions arise when there is only one person who has the context to understand both sides of you?

What you need to play:
There are no dice or cards involved, so only the game text itself is required, along with whatever method you and your fellow players prefer to capture the details you feel are relevant.
