| - | During this phase players will create certain basic concepts about the nature of play, and then main characters that fit that concept. | + | During this phase players will create certain basic concepts about the nature of play. The concepts should probably involve the characters being peripatetic or some other explanation of a way in which the characters come across enough elements of the world to keep play involving discovery of new things. |

| + | * Non-main Character Player - this player will be assigned to play characters who are not main characters. The plot does not revolve around non-main characters | ||
| + | * World-Builder - this role involves the player being involved in the world-building mechanics, and making up details about the nature of the world as needed. | ||

| + | At certain times in the game, a player may drop or add a role. They may not drop a role, however, if they are the last player who has that role. They must instead wait until somebody else takes up that role before they may drop it. | ||
