[quote=@Ruby] Speaking of which... Q&A time! (As always, fake questions with real answers.) [hr] [i]"You've mentioned this role of 'Storyteller' a number of times, now. WTF is it?"[/i] A Storyteller, for this game, will be a player that has additional responsibilities. Whereas they aren't co-GMs in that they don't have to deal with any OOC issues, they do deal with IC issues. So, for example...Dblade26 wants Damian to put a whoopin' on Condiment King, but doesn't want to write Condiment King himself. Well, he could ask myself, the GM, one of the co-GMs (when we get them), but his first and primary option would be asking the Villains Storyteller. The Villains Storyteller helps the GMs out by NPCing villains in one-shot posts that push the plot and story forward, and they help the players out by writing villains for the players to write against, should the player not want to write the villain themselves like in our hypothetical situation with Dblade26's Damian. Obviously, being the [i]Villains[/i] Storyteller they'd have the ability to use any villain requested/needed, with the exception of PC Villains. And any Villain plans/questions/etc discussed with the GMs will get shared with the Villains ST, so they stay in the Villain loop. [@LePouvantail] has offered to be our Villains Storyteller, which is very much appreciated, and I happily accepted. [hr] [i]"You mentioned you might have a Storyteller for a specific storyline/episode. How's that work?"[/i] For our Night of Owls, we'll have a Storyteller for that arc. One of my long time Guild favorites, [@Xtreme], will be filling this role. His role as ST for this episode is rather specific: he's helping me write Talons, because let's be honest, they'll probably be too many Talons in too many scenes for just one person (read: me) to handle. After the Night of Owls episode wraps, he's done being a Storyteller. So if during the Night of Owls episode you have a question regarding Talons, or your scene with a Talon, or your character possibly jumping in to help someone else fight a Talon, you'd holler at Xtreme. And if you asked me, I might (depending on if I'm writing your Talon or not) direct you to Xtreme for an answer. As with the other Storytellers, the GMs will keep Xtreme in the loop on all things Talon related, so he's never in the dark. [hr] [i]"How do I know who's the Storyteller of what, exactly?"[/i] I'll list them on the OOC opening post, along with what they're the Storyteller of. [hr] Got any real questions? Don't be afraid to ask, you won't look dumb, and I don't judge. But hopefully the fake questions and real answers helped folks understand this RP game management concept. [/quote] Beware the court of owls, that watches all the time, ruling Gotham from a shadow perch, behind granite and lime. They watch you at your hearth, they watch you in your bed, speak not a whispered word of them or they'll send the talon for your head. aka The Talons are coming for you bitches
