Introducing Locations

Edit Page Content

Any participant can introduce a new location in which a scene can take place, or to which a scene in progress can logically shift. (For example, a scene that takes place during a journey might start on a road and end up in a swamp.) The caller, or any participant during a shift in location, provides an introductory description of the place, which other participants can then elaborate on. They can do this as the scene progresses, or in a later scene set in the same place.

Once you establish a few basic locations, you'll find the story often returning to them, like the regular sets in a TV show.

A participant who feels that an introduced location detail is out of bounds can challenge it on one of the following grounds:

  • Consistency: The description is anachronistic or otherwise unsuited to the established setting and genre. 
  • Continuity: The description is inconsistent with what has already been established.
  • Tone: The description is somehow ridiculous.
  • Believability: The description defies common sense.
If the GM agrees that the detail fails one of the above tests, she allows a challenge, as per the standard rules in Challenges.
