So, I just figured out that there was something missing… Well, it’s the exposition scene. Here are the three types of scenes in unWritten.
+ The Three Types of Scenes
There are three types of scenes that one can create during the game: primary scenes, exposition scenes, and parallel scenes.
Primary scenes are those that will dominate the game. They focus on the Lead Player’s protagonist, though the other player’s protagonists are allowed in the scene.
Expositions scenes are scenes that don’t directly focus on any of the protagonists. They allow the players to introduce elements (Loose Ends) to the story through scenes that explain some aspect of the story by, simply, introducing details and actions of elements within the scene that inform the story.
Parallel scenes are scenes that focus on two or more protagonists that work towards resolving some specific issue. These scenes don’t require that the protagonists be in the same area, but their actions will affect the results of the common goal.
