The BURMA-SHAVE Game!

[I'm Hiding In Your Closet]

In honor of the legendary BURMA-SHAVE ads, the rules for this game are as follows:

Each 'ad' will consist of 5 lines, each (at least ideally) made by a different poster; each poster rolls (Yes, this is an actual freaking die-rolling game!) 1d4 per post, and the result is how many words can and must be in its line. The final poster of course tacks on the obligatory "BURMA-SHAVE" (which does NOT count for/against poster #5's rolled word-quota!), then the next 5 posters compose the next. Lather, rinse, repeat.

EXAMPLE OF PLAY:

Poster 1: 1d4 ⇒ 2
EMTs came

Poster 2: 1d4 ⇒ 4
But hope wore thin

Poster 3: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Coroner's

Poster 4: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Report:

Poster 5: 1d4 ⇒ 4
"Can't find his chin!"

BURMA-SHAVE

Remind us of the code for dice rolling, please? I haven't been on a forum game in five years or more.

10d4 + 4d10 ⇒ (1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 2) + (2, 7, 2, 7) = 35

Suddenly, a yeti rips IHIYC's head off and uses it as a toaster!
