[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7395945, member: 23751"] No, I'm not going to argue that you don't generate story in Story Now, but your statement above isn't accurate. If I as the DM place an orc at a spot before the game, that's backstory. The PCs arrival at that spot it happening in the game and is not backstory. The roleplaying they do with the orc, as well as the ensuing fight generates story, but does so also without backstory creation. Something that was created in backstory can still be used in the present to create story. Tuovinen's backstory is anything created before the game OR created during the game that simulates backstory. Not all creations during a game are like that. I as a player can create a potion during the game and it won't be a backstory creation. Or, I as a player can make an alchemy roll to find a potion that I created back in time and is in the box over there. Success and the potion is created, but since it was created at a time that simulates creation before the present game(already brewed and in the box), it's backstory creation. [/QUOTE]
