ConsiderGM: You have arrived in town on the caravan. The foreman pays you for your work guarding it and sends you on your way to explore Threshold. Player: I have a cousin that lives in town, who put us up and introduces us to important folks. GM: The sound coming from your cousin's millhouse is uncomfortably like rats, but bigger and very likely meaner. Player: I draw them out one at a time. I tie that hunk of stinky cheese to the end of my rope and toss it toward the hole in the wall where the sounds are coming from. GM: A large, five eyed, nine legged rat thing starts to lumber out of the hole toward the cheese. Player: I pull the rope and get it to come fully out into the open.To my reading, you simply have GM and player taking turns to assert fiction. Who can assert what? For instanceGM: Your cousin in a retired miller and a widow, who lives on the outskirts of town. Can Player say "no" here? Or does the conversation flow in a series of assertions until the group hits something covered by the game mechanics?</blockquote>
