 +During this step, you will work together to define the setting of the game. For the most part this is a brainstorming exercise, where each player can chime in with ideas. Talk these ideas over, and then decide as a group with what interests you the most. Several things need to be decided this way: The Place, The Time, The Predicament.
 +
 +==== The Place ====
 +
 +Where does the invasion take place? What does this place say about the invasion itself? Talk out the setting of the game between everyone. Toss out ideas, and settle on something that is interesting to all players.
 +
 +Besides defining the backdrop of the game, there are some choices here that have rules attached to them. At the top of the [[Snatched:Code Sheets]] you can see several choices made here affect game rules. Specifically the **Total**, the **Privacy**, and the **Security**. The Total describes how populated the place is, and adds mechanics which give weight to that choice. The Privacy informs you of how remote and removed the place is from the world at large. The Security tells you how safe your character feels in this place, is there law and order? Look over the tables for these and you can see the impact on the game. Setting Security low makes things far more dangerous in certain situation for example. Choosing a low Total makes is more likely random people you meet know each other, which is an advantage in certain situations.
 +
 +==== The Time ====
 +
 +When does the invasion take place? What does this mean for the people subject to the invasion. In addition to backdrop, primarily here we want to establish a level of Technology.

 +==== The Predicament ====
