[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 9286021, member: 6696971"] What in the world are you even on about here? I'm not desperate for anything. There are no spurious arguments or misinterpretation or corkscrew logic (at least not on my end). I've laid out my case both pithily and in pretty excruciating detail. Comment on that if you'd like. And again, I have no idea what you're on about with that last sentence. I'm not attaking JA. I'm saying (again), "Don't Prep Plot, Prep Situation" is at tension with "The Three Clue Rule." If I'm creating a Traditional Murder Mystery in like Call of Cthulu or whatever? You better be damn sure I'm prepping plot and I'm ensuring exposition dumps and clues and McGuffins mainline that plot onto play. If I'm creating a Dogs in the Vineyard Town or a Between Threat? I'm Prepping Situation, Not Plot and The Three Clue Rule becomes radioactive for play. [/QUOTE]
