| − | + | MY LIFE WITH THE BATMAN is a game in which the player | |
| + | character minions are an ensemble of individual protagonists, | ||
| + | not a group working together, but independent characters | ||
| + | whose stories happen to intersect at times. And so the | ||
| + | mechanics consciously empower the gameThe Batman’s use of an | ||
| + | aggressive scene framing technique to deliver pacing and | ||
| + | dramatic tension across a series of game sessions comprised | ||
| + | of individual scenes with these characters. | ||
| + | So as a GM, you should frame aggressively, just as if the | ||
| + | game events were a movie. Put the characters directly into | ||
| + | the midst of personally relevant conflicts. Advantage | ||
| + | yourself of the lack of individual ability scores for NPCs by | ||
| + | improvising them into existence as necessary. And generally | ||
| + | you should cut to a new player and a new scene after the dice | ||
| + | have been thrown and the outcome described; use the oneroll | ||
| + | conflict resolution system as a tool for getting out of a | ||
| + | scene when its closure is still wet. Cycle through the play | ||
| + | group like this, resisting the urge to give a second scene to | ||
| + | any character before you’ve done one with each of the rest. | ||
| + | Mechanics like ‘The Horror Revealed’ and the player’s | ||
| + | ability to request a scene for making an overture to a | ||
| + | Connection pretty much depend on this ‘individual scenes’ | ||
| + | dynamic. | ||
