| 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. | During this phase players will create certain basic concepts about the nature of play.

| - | === Changing Roles === | + | ==== 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. | At certain times in the game, a player may drop or add a role.

| - | ==== Character Generation ==== | + | ===== Character Generation |
| 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. Normally the player most involved in creating a character will play that character, but players may decide to swap, up to and including changing the player role if necessary to accomplish this. | Players invent characters that make sense given the concepts worked out above.

| Ongoing with this normal play, players are compelling each other to add elements to the setting, and/or doing so voluntarily. In many cases, the additions will be accomplished by placing a piece of art into play inline with the text (or showing it to other players for FTF play). When this happens, everything in the picture presented is created in the shared imagined space, unless a player goes further and " | Ongoing with this normal play, players are compelling each other to add elements to the setting, and/or doing so voluntarily.

| + | |||
| + | 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. | ||
