Welcome to Splendiferous Eructations

A exquisite corpse game made for the express purpose of making ridiculous shit up with my friends and yours.

As a former dramaturge I want to begin with full history of The Exquisite Corpse, and its predecessor Consequences, which is technically what this is. But as a current developer, I don't have time for that. That's copy and someone else get's paid to do that.

How to

Traditionally play works thusly: The first player writes three to maybe five lines of a story. Then they fold the page over, leaving only the last line visible to the next person in line. The next player then continues the story with only that line for context. Blather, wince, repeat. After a preset number of rounds, three to four for the average game, the full story is read and hilarity/awkwardness ensue.

Splendiferous Eructations works the same way. On your homepage, scroll down and click the Create New Story button. On the new story creation screen, set the number of rounds, add players by typing their usernames (real names may be included later), and add a title if you want to, or if you created the story, you can change the title after it's complete.

Each round you will write your little heart out, using what context you've been given by the previous player, and things you've written in previous rounds. Then you will highlight the last line, or final few words as you see fit, and click the "Select and Create Reveal" button. Verify that you're sharing the text that you want to, and hit Submit. Currently, if you need to redo the revealed text, you'll want to select and copy all of your text and then reload the page. Fixing how you edit revealed text is another feature update in the works.

You'll get an email when you've been added to a new story, and new stories and stories where it is your turn will be highlighted with a dot next to them in your "Stories in progress" list.

That's about it. More features are coming. Feedback is great. There is also a chat/message system, and the ability to "like" segments of completed stories to give friends props for a particularly good section.

Good luck, have fun, surprise each other,

Ian
