And you as a player are pressured to stay out of Actor Stance because over the head of your roleplay will be a constant Writer Stance pressure of aiming towards the next Beat (but not approaching too fast!)There was also that you are heavily incentivized to finish the Beats, which may be less interesting than something like how you never reconcile with your family.</blockquote>
