-Usually players will generate characters that were invented in the concepts phase+Players invent characters that make sense given the concepts worked out above. These should include one main character or one secondary character for each player in the game, and one additional secondary character for each main character who is somebody important to the main character.

 Once a piece of art is exhibited, players may interrogate one another about the piece. This can be accomplished by having a character investigate, or at the player level, in which case the information may simply be player knowledge. In the latter case, a player can use a knowledge test to figure out if the character knows the information already, making investigating unnecessary.  Once a piece of art is exhibited, players may interrogate one another about the piece.
