Responsibilities

The players are responsible for: creating and playing their own individual characters, occasionally playing other members of the cast, making decisions that spur on drama and keep the story moving, highlighting their characters’ mythology-based strengths and weaknesses, ceding the spotlight when it’s another player’s time to shine, engaging the story the Storyguide introduces, and developing their characters’ personalities and abilities over time to tell personal stories within the overall narrative of the game.

The Storyguide is responsible for: bringing The World to life through narrative description, deciding where scenes start and end, portraying non-player characters, involving each player and her character in the ongoing story, facilitating the actions players’ characters take and ensuring there are always complications, and handling Momentum evenly.

Everyone is responsible for: making suggestions about the story and action, while keeping in mind the authority of players over their characters and the responsibility of the Storyguide to occasionally make trouble.
