About Does Canned Rice Dream of a Napkin Heap?

Two aliens, a robot, and a canine cosmonaut walk into a spaceport bar. Now you have to get them to pay for your drinks by sharing a tall tale of galactic intrigue to keep them entertained.

You are a human traveler, alone in Quaoar's spaceport bar with nothing to your name but a vivid imagination and a willingness to lie about your travels. You've attracted the attention of a small audience -- two aliens, a robot, and a talking dog -- and they're ready to listen to your story, as long as you don't annoy them too much. Spin your story with the tools you have available: the dinner table is your stage, utensils and items of food the players in your narrative. As you tell the story, your audience will talk back, asking questions that you'll need to answer to keep the story going.
