[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 8638094, member: 71699"] I wanted to say that I really like your post here. I'm conscious that in our interactions I don't do half as much agreeing-by-agreeing as I ought to do! It feels like what Edwards wanted to see was an intense framing and resolving of tensions or conflicts. I can appreciate that. What do you feel would be the best way to approach the following (any best practices) [LIST=1] [*]A group in a long-running campaign desires to move between agendas, so that in some sessions they're immersed in world, in others character tensions and conflicts come to the fore? [*]A group in a long-running campaign introduces commitments that play out over extended arcs; so thinking of this as the same group in the above, a bond, belief or commitment is in some way introduced, then some time later a tension or conflict in its relation starts to emerge, and then some time much later - or really over a span of time - it is resolved in increments, possibly (but not necessarily) leading to a crescendo? [/LIST] My motive in asking about these is that I enjoy a less pressure-cooker approach. So I wonder if others see Story Now as always (and perhaps necessarily) the furnace, or whether there are there effective ways to manage glowering embers - a peat fire burning underground? [/QUOTE]
