I'm assuming that we want 4 characters, please just delete one if you only want 3--that's fine with me.

-- Jonathan

Yes, I'd rather stick to three.

--Paul

Drawing 1 card each, I (Jonathan) win with a Queen of Clubs (see Muse:Musette Playtest 1:Cards). I nominate 2 elements: Maria and Georg (I think Maria should be in love with Georg, which should complicate things nicely). Bob supports the nomination, since one element is his, and besides it's a good combo. If Paul or Terry accept, then please copy and paste the characters into the sheet above. Jonathan, Bob and Paul will each draw a card. Afterward, it will be Paul's turn.

-- Jonathan

Paul accepts!

Before going on, two points:

• In a situation like the above, I usually ask the players: hey, Georg has a goal in his description. Should this be his Desire, or is it just a bit of info about him? I normally ask the author. In this case, the author is Paul, and he says, "no, it's just a detail about him. Let's give him a more specific Desire, or something different, anyway."

• The cards we drew are just for the first turn. They will not be part of our eventual hands. I'll let you handle all that, though.

Now, Paul's nomination:

I like Jon's idea. I nominated Maria being in love with Georg! Terry supports.
