[QUOTE="gban007, post: 9052818, member: 56488"] I don't know, my style of games is a lot more like yours / Maxpersons I think, and indeed about to run Shadow of the Dragon Queen, very much an adventure that is going to pull events out of left field for the characters / de-protagonise them, but I can see that the OP seems very good for getting my head around what Story Now entails, and does make me wonder about giving them a go one day. But your point around pushing back on why the advice is only for Story Now seems somewhat in opposition to the some parts of the thread where you look to be pushing for the GM to be able to do stuff that is in opposition to what Story Now games support, so seems to be more trying to provide advice that applies to other games but not Story Now games. So more like 'advice for new owners of electric vehicles: look for ways to minimise the electricity cost by only charging at night' and coming in with 'but what about when someone wants a good price on petrol? - only going to petrol stations at night isn't going to solve that' to stretch the analogy a bit.
