Scenes

A Scene is the basic measure of pacing in the game. Each Scene is a distinct time and place. You directly control your character through roleplaying and Challenges during a Scene while the storyteller manages the rest of the world.

In between scenes, you automatically recover many resources. This is the “off-screen” portion where your characters automatically handle basic rest and maintenance.

The storyteller controls the exact length and scope of a scene; he has great leeway to create long scenes that stress you to exhaustion or short ones that pack a quick punch.

Remember that most positive bonus effects expire at the end of a Scene. Negative effects do not. Unfair, isn’t it?
