Editing Do Not Go Gentle: Directing the Game (section)

==Playing the Game==

The game is run by the '''Director''' who oversees the plot arc and sets the overall story.

The players of the game are dubbed '''Scriptwriters''', and the role they fill is halfway between the player-character role of traditional gaming, and the consensual storytelling role of avant-garde gaming.

'''Scriptwriters''' control a single '''actor-protagonist''' character at a time, but during the course of the story can switch back and forth between a pool of characters under their remit. 

The story is split into several '''Acts''', each of which spans a different set of decades. 

The goal of the '''Director''' is to guide the story, provide a world to play in and ensure the enjoyment of the player-scriptwriters. The goal of the '''Scriptwriters''' is to collaborate in creating the story, and ultimately to bring the story to the conclusion of the final Act.
