Editing Chuubo-1:8 (section)

===STOP===
<@Random_Nerd> Okay, who got the last bonus XP?<br>
<@deMontreal> OK, so we're slowly learning the Scene rules?<br>
* Shounen is now known as Angelo<br>
* deMontreal is now known as Knockwood<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Yeah.<br>
<@Angelo> scenes are a bit awkward <br>
<@Angelo> and near the end we were not using them<br>
* Mrs_Senko is now known as Verithe<br>
<@Random_Nerd> I figure if we use them for a few more sessions, they'll get more comfortable.<br>
<@Knockwood> Well, like I said,<br>
* Lili is now known as BethE<br>
<@Random_Nerd> But if they don't, hey, that's why we're playtesting.<br>
<@Knockwood> I was thinking you could make a Mystery scene in the hold<br>
<@Knockwood> assumine we didn't clean it out and Luthien bumped into it.<br>
<@Knockwood> Now, how would that work?<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Hmm...<br>
<@Angelo> maybe we have to be more explicit when we see a potential sceene? <br>
<@Random_Nerd> Okay, let's use this as an example of how we'd go about doing that.<br>
<@Angelo> I too see some potential scenes for other <br>
<@Random_Nerd> Do you mean an Exploration scene?<br>
<@Knockwood> Could go either way<br>
<@Verithe> So....the party<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Is there a Mystery scene type, though, as well as the Mystery issue?<br>
<@Random_Nerd> If there is, I don't see it here.<br>
<@Knockwood> Ah, you're right,<br>
<@Angelo> nope no mystery scene<br>
<@Knockwood> it's an Exploration scene<br>
<@Knockwood> and I'm mixing things up<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Okay.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> So, let's say you guys wanted to make it into a cooperative exporation scene.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> There are certain requirements, some relating to the circumstances, and some to how it plays out.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> First, it has to have a fair bit of the initiative taken by someone who didn't start the scene.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> And it has to be fun for everyone, and last for a while.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> These are the requirements of a cooperative scene.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> And then, the exploration-specific part.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> (page 93 of Rand's file)<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Has to start out somewhere unfamiliar. The hold would qualify, since we haven't seen it yet.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> You need to find something neat, scary, or mysterious.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> This part, the ball's theoretically in my court, but no GM who has players who are exploring a place and looking for something cool or scary will have them ''not'' find anything.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> And at least one of you has to have a significant emotional response in-character to it.<br>
<@Knockwood> probably Luthien<br>
<@Angelo> the party can be a na exploration scene<br>
<@Knockwood> or LdM, if it messes with HIS ship<br>
<@Knockwood> Only thing is, with this setup, there could be an Exploration scene only involving Luthien, since she's alone in the hold.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> True, there could.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Wouldn't be a cooperative scene, but that doesn't mean it's nothing.<br>
<@Knockwood> well, wait...<br>
<@Knockwood> what if we helpfully suggest what she encounters?<br>
<@Verithe> I don't think that would count...<br>
<@Knockwood> ah, but we are adding to the scene<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Hmm...<br>
<@Knockwood> just OOC rather than IC<br>
<@Verithe> ...<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Yeah, it is about the involvement of multiple ''players'' rather than multiple ''characters''...<br>
<@Random_Nerd> So I'd allow it, if it seemed to work in the scene.<br>
<@Verithe> Well, if it's fun for everyone, it isn't a problem.<br>
<@Knockwood> if we can keep on this side of the line between playing with Luthien and screwing with her<br>
<@Angelo> uhm.... but I feel like characters must be involved in some way<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Well, it's a lot easier to contribute to a scene that way.<br>
<@BethE> I need to get to bed, all.  Good night!  *HUGS*<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Although there's always the "hand an NPC to a player" routine.<br>
<@Knockwood> g'night Beth<br>
<@Angelo> night Beth! *HUG*<br>
<@Verithe> Take care, Beth<br>
<@Angelo> totally pro that  routine<br>
* ''@BethE Quit (Disintegrated: All shall love me and despair?)''<br>
<@Random_Nerd> You know, http://xkcd.com/1032/ kinda reminds me of Senko for some reason.<br>
<@Verithe> Haha<br>
<@Verithe> Maybe that's the "Businessman Mr. Senko" option.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Indeed.<br>
<@Angelo> well I fly to my bed, night all! :-)<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Yeah, I gotta go too.<br>
<@Knockwood> g'night Angelo<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Good session, guys.<br>
<@Knockwood> Guess I'll call it a night as well<br>
<@Verithe> Take care!<br>
* ''@Knockwood Quit''<br>
* ''@Verithe Quit''<br>
* ''@Angelo has left #Nobilis''<br>
