Outside of Scores it was much more Freeform and unfocused, meaning conflicts didn’t usually play out to resolution before the players began another score. Then as to player authored, the players would choose what scores to go and and what to do in downtime, but very little else about a particular score was player authored, which is also very similar to living world sandbox play.Now it’s certainly possible we didnt follow all the principles appropriately, but that was the experience.</blockquote>
