The Plot Thickens Ron Edwards / Adept Play
Getting somewhere, anywhere • Full script • Doesn’t survive the enemy • Power struggle • White space • Paralysis • Sprawl • Power struggle
Iterative solutions • Intuitive Continuity • Ref: Gareth-Michael Skarka, early 1990s • No preparation, maintain control • Bangs • Ref: Ron Edwards,1996 • Hard preparation, no control • Both produce plot in play • No overlap
Intuitive Continuity • In control (not prepared) • Players can’t ruin it; no dead time or guessing • The benefit of full scripting • Variations in initial certainties • Genre conventions only • Clue/fight two-step • Specific adversary
Bangs • Prepared (not in control) • Proactivity • Opportunity • Reactivity • Variation in improvised content • None • Enriched/inked • Majority
Breakout groups • GM distribution • The Pitch • Knowledge • Ceded behavior • Outcomes
Group work • Confirm your collective understanding of the topic • The range of play-and-design possibilities • Each person names one game title • Identifies its position in the available categories • Identifies the strong emotion they feel about that title • The group (back of the card) • Organizes the titles in any groups or separations which make sense
effort and effects • Investment • Attention, contribution, declaration, suggestion • Utilizing physical, descriptive, and quantitative instruments • Determining, discovering, and confronting • Information • Action
Hard questions • Diversity of technique • How many of our variations are trivial? • Gromit in hiding • Visible investment • How much of it matters? • Skinning, fanfic (broadly defined)
Hunting sacred cows • They’re everywhere • Role-playing identity clubhouses mean nothing • So indie • Fate, Powered by the Apocalypse • So old school • The mythical sandbox
