I think BW focuses really heavily on working out relationships mechanically, from what I can see, and what I remember of Mouse Guard. Anyway it seems like both the player and the GM are contributing to the plot. I WOULD probably define plot a bit more generally, but I think the focus being more on decision points than how the whole thing shapes out in a general sense is basically a peculiarity of RPGs, in that there really is no overarching narrative direction, things can go anywhere. So plot becomes more focused on those specific moments, which get played out, and there is really no way to say where that will take you later, which might be more of a concern to an author or a screen writer.</blockquote>
