A chreia or proverb is a clever, useful saying. A [[chreia|http://rhetoric.byu.edu/Pedagogy/Progymnasmata/Chreia.htm]] would be attributed to a specific person, but a [[proverb|http://rhetoric.byu.edu/Pedagogy/Progymnasmata/Proverb.htm]] would be drawn from the commonsense of the community.\n\nUse a chreia or proverb to invent your game!\n\n[[Cool, then what?|Publish]]\n[[What were the other ones, again?|List]]\n[[Choose something else for me.|Random]]
A [[fable|http://rhetoric.byu.edu/Pedagogy/Progymnasmata/Fable.htm]] uses colorful characters, often animals, to teach a moral lesson through an amusing tale.\n\nUse a fable to invent your game!\n\n[[Cool, then what?|Publish]]\n[[What were the other ones, again?|List]]\n[[Choose something else for me.|Random]]\n\n

When you finish writing your game, you can publish it for free at [[philome.la|http://www.philome.la/]]! (requires a login with Twitter)\n\nAnd when it's published, you can submit it to the proGAMEnasmata jam collection on [[itch.io|http://itch.io/jam/progamenasmata]]!\n\nThanks for contributing!
You have reached the proGAMEnasmata, a one-hour game jam based on ancient rhetorical exercises.\n\nWatch the clock: at the end of one hour, you can post your game online and share it!\n\n[[Let's make a game!|What's Going On?]]\n
An [[impersonation|http://rhetoric.byu.edu/Pedagogy/Progymnasmata/Impersonation.htm]] invents the speech of a real or fictional person. If their words are delivered in the first person, the exercise is called ethopoeia. If an object or thing is made to speak, it's called prosopopoeia. If a ghost or dead person speaks, it's eidolopoeia!\n\nUse impersonation to invent your game!\n\n[[Cool, then what?|Publish]]\n[[What were the other ones, again?|List]]\n[[Choose something else for me.|Random]]

Okay, but what will you make a game about?\n\nIn ancient times, students of rhetoric learned how to craft arguments and deliver speeches by doing exercises called the //progymnasmata//.\n\nIn the proGAMEnasmata, you'll use one (or more) of these exercises to help you invent a Twine game!\n\n[[So what are they?|List]]\n[[Whatever, just give me one.|Random]]
