Morkus from Orkus
I’ve only played Fiasco a couple of times, but I don’t think that what you’re describing is very accurate. In any scene, you can either set up the scene or you can resolve it, and those aspects will change from scene to scene. But it’s not really a case of a rotating GM like you are suggesting.
I didn't suggest rotating GMs. I said that when you step into the duties that are part of being a GM, you are a GM while engaging in those duties. This is backed up by the designer of Microscope and by the way Fiasco is played.
And I know for a certainty that’s not how it works in Microscope.
The designer of Microscope himself said it was. I quoted him saying it gives players the chance be GMs.
No one steps into GM mode and then back out of it.
I've made my claimed and backed it up. "Nuh uh!" isn't a counter to it.
All the players have the same level of authorship and the same role in the game.
Yes, they all step into and out of the roles of player and GM equally. I agree.
