For initial development practice, we'll be using a public domain and famous storyline as a rough guide for the story, William Shakespeare's "The Tempest". It has all the elements necessary to turn into an RPG experience for one or more PCs. We will be customizing it to be more fantasy based and less "historical", and to use "modern" NPC language, so it will not be a faithful reproduction, rather just a guiding light. We will also be using ideas from the IF books of other similar works for To Be or Not To Be and Romeo and Juliet by Ryan North.

|
If you need a refresher on "The Tempest" (all developers need to ready or listen to this so we are all on the same page), there are a lot of public domain options available of various production and performance quality.
|
||||||
|
Here is one that may be good enough for you, plus it includes the text to help make it easier to follow along:
