Inkeeryn's irritating insidious incorrigible incessant illness

Inkeeryn's Irritating Insidious Incorrigible Incessant Illness is a storytelling duet that uses a six-sided die and a deck of standard playing cards. One player plays someone who is afflicted or cursed or hexed, and the other plays the affliction itself. Over the course of four rounds -- representing stages of life -- you take turns narrating about the afflicted person and the curse that torments them. The exact nature of the affliction -- its effects, symptoms, and expressions -- are determined by you. You describe how the curse affects the character, and how the character treats, copes with, and maybe even transcends it.
