Roles in Storyteller Games

The Storyteller

Performs the core narration of the story, and has the final say on if something is feasible.

Player

Makes decisions for an individual character of the group in the story. If a character is removed from the story, the player takes on the role of a Ghost.

The Picker

Fills out the Story Prompt and quietly acts as the antagonist against the Characters. The Storyteller confers with the Picker about the antagonist's actions during the story. They can also perform the tasks of a Ghost immediately.

For groups of 3 or fewer players, everyone can pick a Story Prompt option. The Storyteller should pick the Happenings and Ending, keeping them secret, and play the part of the antagonist as well.

Ghosts

These are Players whose characters are removed from the game. They should be encouraged to move away from the campfire or light source and make occasional mood appropriate noises. Ghosts can also stage whisper questions and comments.
