But don't Story Now games sort of have a higher incidence of coincidences like this, since you're attempting to tie everything back to the characters and their motivations?I can think of a lot of possibilities for the hat being there. But again, isn't that also discouraged in Story Now games? That is, thinking of possibilities ahead of time?Based on what you've described with the Relationship role, the brother has to come into play at some point, right? I think the hat is a very cool way to go about it.So my question is this - the hat was there. Now what? Can you start to define the brother's place in the story even though he's still offscreen? Or do you have to wait until the right circumstance?There are all sorts of reasons you can come up with as to why the hat was there, but not his brother. If the brother doesn't show up now, you've just planted a seed that the brother is present in some manner. It could be any number of sessions before the brother actually shows up, right? If it were me, I would not have the brother show up yet. Right now it's just the hat.I'm also curious as to when you decided the brother's hat was on the table.</blockquote>
