[QUOTE="Nagol, post: 6098391, member: 23935"] But even in a scene-framed game, both the hiring interviews and the desert Hussar's character found himself facing were scenes! It wasn't presented as free narration and it certainly could have been. That means the scene had (or was expected to have) meaning to somebody at the table. Someone getting 'shirty' because the scene don't resonate with him becomes a problem separate from the issue if the scene resonates with no one. Summoning additional assets to the scene doesn't signal a quick transition -- it signals an investment. In FATE terms, assigning an aspect to the group (riding on giant centipede) which is expected to likely impact the situations the groups finds itself in. In a crunchy game system with speciic rules for exotic mount riding and noted penalties for failure, it must also be expected there is a desire to work with those rules (otherwise why play that game and perform that action) Wanting to skip the hiring interviews does signal a transition desire, but it also signals "Here is where complications should arise". "We'll take what we can get and deal with any issues later." [/QUOTE]
