Four ChairsBrno · in English · No. 015Book

The picture above was generated 2 August 2026 as a storyboard frame for the film that belongs in this slot. Not footage.

Nobody has complained about the overrun yet. There is nothing to read first and no character to build alone at a kitchen table on a Sunday.

The first hour is finding your feet. The second is the one you will describe to someone else afterwards, badly, and they will not understand, and you will not mind. The third usually runs over.

Around half of every table has never played before, which is the entire reason it is built the way it is.

Storyboard frame, generated 2 August 2026. The annotations describe how an evening actually works. The photograph is a plan for one that has not been taken yet.REAL PHOTOGRAPH NEEDED — the four annotations are pinned to this frame's coordinates and must be re-placed on the real one.
  1. 01

    You install nothing

    The map is on my screen and I share it with the table. Nothing to buy, nothing to download, nothing to set up on a Sunday afternoon. If your browser can open this page it can open the game.

  2. 02

    Everyone is inside one rectangle

    No room to find, no app to learn, no second window open behind this one. Everyone playing is in that frame, and I am the only person at this table who has to know where anything is.

  3. 03

    It is never on you for long

    The green ring marks whoever is speaking, and it moves all evening. That is the real shape of a table: attention arrives, you say a short thing, and it goes somewhere else. Nobody holds it for three hours, including me.

  4. 04

    The homework is mine

    Every rule is on this side of the desk, in my handwriting. You are not asked to read anything before you arrive and you are not asked to look anything up while you are here.

Nothing here. The table is quiet for a moment.

Who I am

A man at a lamplit desk at night wearing a headset, turned away from the camera toward a monitor showing four players on a call. A generated concept plate, not a photograph of a real person.
Concept plate, 2 August 2026. The real photograph goes here.

Frael

I run tables from Brno, in English, mostly on Tuesday evenings. I have been the person at the table who did not know the rules, and nobody explained. Every table I have run since has been built around not doing that to anybody else.

REAL PHOTOGRAPH NEEDED — this is a concept plate, not a likeness.
A hand-drawn fantasy town map on cream paper, photographed on a dark table beside a brass dice cup.
Generated photograph of a drawn map, 1 August 2026. Not a scan of an original.

The world

Somebody is already sitting there

The world does not start when you arrive. It has been going a while, quietly, and it will let you in without a test. You will meet people who want something, who are wrong about things, and who remember what you said three weeks ago.

None of them will ask you to roll for permission to speak.

What players say

Nothing yet, and nothing borrowed. This stays empty until five people who actually sat at a table have said something I can quote with their name on it. 0 of 5.

The questions people actually ask

I have never played. Will I hold everyone up?
No. Around half of every table I run has never played before, which is why there is nothing to read first.
What if I am bad at improvising?
Then say a short thing, or nothing at all, and I will build around it. Nobody is scored.
