: I've been looking to pick people's : minds to see what they have to say on : this question. When is a scenario more : than just a game? If you've got a : few comments and care to share them, : please post here, or you can also send : c/o Andy at ADorsai@aol.com Answering this question I would look at it in terms of "When is a Scenario more then just a BIG Game?" 1) When the outcome is determined not by any preset storyline but by the players. IE, the original story is presented but the outcome is unknown till the end. 2) When the game requires the players to think rather then who can shoot the most paint and dominate the field. IE players having to collect props and information and figure out how to use them to their advantage. 3) When everyone on the field is engaged in the story and not just a chosen few. I've seen several "Scenarios" that in my mind really were not. For me the most important part of a scenario is becoming a character in the story, not how many vendors or paint brands etc.
