[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 8264423, member: 6698278"] I definitely think that paralysis is something a group has to watch out for but I love a good plan that comes to fruition. So there is a balance there. I've had groups spend a good bit of time planning and if it is productive planning then I think it's good. If it devolves and just seems to be repetitive then that is bad. There are also limits to planning due to lack of knowledge so in some cases you can only plan so much. Just like real life. A famous military quote is "No plan survives contact with the enemy". It's a truism. I think flashbacks would not be required to do Story Now. It would be something you could do and like to do and perhaps for some people they wouldn't. It's like the level of detail in the sandbox world. It varies and could be debated even amongst those devoted to a style I prefer. [/QUOTE]
