[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 7591492, member: 82106"] OK, so how about this: 1. The GM is allotted a fixed number of 'resources', say one per PC (could be 2, or maybe he can buy more, etc.). 2. The GM proposes a narrative element, using a resource (IE "a tribe of orcs is on the warpath"). 3. The players can either propose their own narrative element which is at stake (IE "our home town of Dinford is in the path of the orcs") or 4. The players can dispute the GMs narrative element, staking one in opposition (IE "Fort Durant, my family's holding, stands in the path of the orcs."). The GM rolls to see if the orcs overcome it, with the players describing failure and the GM describing the consequences of success. 5. Either side can accept failure/success, or stake another resource (IE the GM succeeds, Fort Durant cannot hold back the orcs. Another player says "I ask my relatives, the Black Iron Dwarf Clan to march to the castle's aid.") This could be accepted by the GM, or he could make a check, expending another resource to put a spy in place, etc. 6. At any point, once both sides have accepted, then play can proceed from that point. Any further elaboration required? [/QUOTE]
