How to write Convention Scenarios, part III: the Opening Scene
Originally published at Figures of Text. Please leave any comments there.
This article isn’t about running convention games, but from this point on it will be impossible for me to entirely divorce writing the game from running it. I’ll keep the GM asides to a minimum.
The opening scene needs to:
- Get the players’ attention
- Introduce the player characters to each other
- Start them roleplaying
- Set the tone of the whole game
- Describe the initial situation
- Tell the players what they’re supposed to be doing
- Funnel the game towards the next scene
