[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 9044911, member: 82106"] There's a WIDE range of possibilities here, don't start excluding the middle! Nor is there some requirement that any given situation address ALL of the characters in a highly immediate way. Like my example of Takeo and the score where we got rid of the Oni. Dealing with spiritual stuff was relevant to the Whisper, a type of character who specializes in the ghost field. So both Takeo and Skewth are taken care of, and Tal Rajan did some political wheeling and dealing, I forget all the details now, but he was definitely engaged. Beaker, I don't remember what he did (he was the bomb-throwing alchemist type) but I guess he was at least having fun! That's a typical scenario for a score in BitD. Even if its not clearly right up every character's alley, it will at least be "the crew is doing a score, and you're in on it", and next week, or during DT or info gathering, maybe you'll be THE ONE. I mean, if you never are, the GM is slacking or something. Honestly, we often did 2 or even 3 scores in parallel in a lot of sessions. We would do some crossover, but Takeo would go kill his rival, Skewth was opening up some sort of intradimensional gateway, and I think Tal Rajan was marrying several wives all at once!
