There's a generic RPG out there called Universalis. My understanding is that the game is set up to be GM-less, and the session/campaign itself is based on "tenets" chosen by all participants. Gameplay seems to be entirely based on who is currently in control of a scene, but my interpretation of the Website could be somewhat off from the reality of the situation.

While considering the idea of Universalis and the tenets that are chosen at the beginning of play (for instance, someone might choose "zombies," while another chooses "a spaceship orbiting Saturn," and yet another chooses "the return of Jesus" -- and then all of those have to be mish-mashed together during the play experience; again, this is my understanding of the game as I've read about it), I just came up with the idea of maybe mixing the idea with 1000 Blank White Cards. What kind of chaotic fun could be had by having my RPG group take blank index cards and scribble various ideas onto each one, then shuffle them all up and flip over X number of them?

Would it work? Would it be fun?
