stuck with choosing a plot? how about we let the dice give us direction instead? roll to determine the first number (if you roll 1 or 2, you'll be rolling for scenarios under the numbers 1-2, if you roll 3 or 4, you'll be rolling for scenarios under the numbers 3-4, etc.). roll two more times to determine which scenario to choose!
for example, if you roll a 4, 3, 2, you'll look for the number 32 under the list that says 3-4, which is 32. “Do you honestly not see how dysfunctional this family is?” which hopefully inspires you for a scenario. if not, roll again! :)
