Yes, that may work... I just wanted to add an extra 'challenge' to the proceedings. Perhaps we should have a theme, or something. Yeah, that's a good idea.

I'll add an extra challenge to each task. For example, I might ask a drawer to include, say, mushrooms in their picture some how. Or I may ask a writer to include the word 'hippopotamus'... Sounds like enough scope for amusement to me.

How about 150 characters (including spaces) as the maximum? I think it would be good to keep it short and give more freedom to those who draw.

Hookbill, on first sight your idea of giving "challenges" looks good, but on truth to say even I don't agree with it. I think it's more interesting to give more freedom and see what people invent. You decide!

I think that sounds fun. But it would make it a little more complicated for you, you know.

If you put a time limit to it, this may be a shorter game, so even if it doesn't work the best it won't be the biggest problem.

Well, nothing against going totally dada... but not sure I'd prefer that over the "classic" PT... it would move the center of the PT somewhere else, and when already you make the sentence limit which should make this PT "fresh", I don't think including any other tasks is necessary and/or particularly enrichening... so I stand with Volo, but like he said, you are the mod.

Personally, I think that would be too much. I'm afraid it would end up with people concentrating rather on the challenges they were given and the original sentence would disappear under them - and I don't think that would actually make the PT funnier.
