Explanatory Note

Sleep Is Death is a pretty fantastic game by Jason Rohrer for two people, a player and a controller. The controller sets up a scenario, then the player takes a turn, then it goes back to the controller, and back to the player, back and forth and so on in 30-second increments. The output of this process is then saved as a flipbook.

Basically it's a combination of D&D and improv and Mario Paint, which maybe explains why most of what you'll see below is borderline insane. Enjoy!
