What is "puppetland"

Puppetland: A Storytelling Game with Strings in a Grim World of Make-Believe is a role-playing game written by John Scott Tynes.

The game was published together with Powerkill, a satirical role-playing metagame by the same author, under the title Puppetland/Powerkill.

A free edition, including most of the game text is available on the author's web site.
