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. |
+ | |||
+ | ==== Player Roles ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Before creating characters, players select roles for the game. This is done first, as selection of roles my influence how players generate characters. The roles that may be selected are: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Facilitator - this player organizes | ||
+ | * Main Character Player - this player will play one or more of the main characters of the game. Main character here defined as ones who the players agree to keep the plot revolving around. | ||
+ | * Secondary Character Player - this player will be assigned to play characters who are not main characters. The plot does not revolve around non-main characters and the action rarely, if ever, follows them solely. | ||
+ | * 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. | ||
+ | * Event Creator - this role involves coming up with events to be played out in scenes (typically involving one or more main characters). | ||
+ | * Host - if playing online, the service admin is the host in effect. As are event coordinators if playing FTF at an event. Otherwise if playing FTF, somebody must be a host. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The default is that all players are either main or non-main character players (or both), and world-builders. A player may " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Play may begin once every role has been filled. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Changing Roles === | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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. Note that a player may petition the game to have one of their secondary characters become a main character, which then makes them a main character player. And characters may be similarly demoted, with the player no longer being a main character player if this is their last such character. But this may not happen, again, if there are no other main character players. | ||

+ | Generally the player of one of these designated characters has the usual prerogatives of a player of a Player Character in most RPGs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Players of main characters should indicate if the character is a protagonist or some other type of character. There must remain one protagonist among the characters for play to begin, and players can negotiate which characters these will be. | ||

+ | === Adding Media === | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | Other types of media can be entered voluntarily, | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Challenge == | ||
+ | |||
+ | If a participant in the game finds that an entered piece of media changes details from previously established egregiously (especially if established by previous media entries), they can protest to the facilitator who will make a call on whether the submission is suitable, or if the player must edit it or select another. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Interrogation == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once a piece of art is exhibited, players may interrogate one another about the piece. This can be accomplished by having a character investigate, | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Compelling == | ||
+ | == Reference Wiki == | ||
+ | There will be a wiki that stores added media and notes about them, which will be maintained by the facilitator. The facilitator may get help from other players, who will get a reward. | ||
