The David Web

Follow David.

Don't let him out of your sights.

And when the time comes, reveal yourself ... and him.

The David Web is a storytelling game for an unknown number of pursuers inspired by the structure and cinematography of the Jason Bourne movies.

In The David Web, the players are all anonymous pursuers who follow David around as he tries to discover his identity. Sometimes a player will turn out to be an asset of a hostile and resourceful agency, sometimes a player will just be a camera observing David without obstructing him. David doesn't remember why powerful people want him dead, but he knows that they do and he has the skills to maneuver through the web he finds himself in. 

Together you and your friends will create the narrative of a chase movie by taking turns to describe what David is doing, how he uncovers details about his own past, and why he is being pursued. None of these details are created in advance, so you and your friends will make them up as you go, following along from the scenes and descriptions you each add to the overall story.

Eventually both David and the players will discover who he is. Crash zoom into The David Web and get chasing!

The David Web takes about 2-2.5 hours of focused play for 3-4 players. If you have more players, or you aren’t as focused on the story, it might take a bit longer.

This product includes a colour PDF of the game; a black and white PDF of the game for easier home printing; colour and black and white PDFs of the playsheets and inspirational lists; and a lot of love of Paul Greengrass' cinematography.
