# Primetime Adventures tags: #game/rpg/primetime-adventures ![[Primetime Adventures (cover).jpg]] _Primetime Adventures_ is a role-playing game that allows you to create your own TV show with friends. Published by Dog Eared Designs and designed by Matt Wilson, this game transforms your gaming table into a writer’s room. Players collaborate to build the setting, characters, and plotlines, with one player taking the role of the producer while the others act as protagonists. It's essentially like writing and acting out your favorite TV series, without any of the pesky network executives interfering. **Core Die Resolution Mechanics:** _Primetime Adventures_ initially used dice in its first edition, but this was changed to playing cards in the second edition. Each player draws a number of cards equal to their character's screen presence, with red cards counting as successes. The side with the most successes wins the conflict, but the highest individual card holder narrates the outcome. This means that even if you lose a conflict, you could still shape the narrative's final twist. It's a game where your storytelling chops are as important as your strategic thinking. **Editions and Changes:** The first edition of _Primetime Adventures_ relied on dice for conflict resolution. However, the second edition shifted to using playing cards to better reflect the narrative nature of the game. In 2014, a successful Kickstarter campaign funded the third edition, which brought further refinements and updates, making the game even more accessible and engaging for players​ ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primetime_Adventures))​. ## References - [Primetime Adventures on Indie Press Revolution](https://www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/Primetime-Adventures-3e-Print-PDF.html) - [Review of Primetime Adventures - RPGnet](https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/13/13243.phtml) - [Primetime Adventures on RPGGeek - Overview](https://rpggeek.com/rpgitem/175317/primetime-adventures-third-edition) - [Primetime Adventures Wikipedia - Detailed Description](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primetime_Adventures)
