Even as big of a WEG SW fan as I am, that is one aspect of the game that quickly fell by the wayside in my own campaign. Likewise, many of the 'in media res' starts to adventures had to be tempered quite a bit (if not eliminated entirely). One of the cinematic 'tactics' I felt DID work were the 'cut away' scenes—where we see things happening elsewhere, outside of direct player knowledge (i.e. villain monologues, minor plot exposition by NPCs, etc.). I don't use these all the time (as they're hard to come up with on the fly), but they have been used to great effect in some of my games. I've also found that cut-away scenes in published modules often have to be altered to reflect player actions, because players rarely do what is expected—and that's one of the reasons I love gaming so much.rologutweinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02186173153359166269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-42172129695839687432010-04-01T06:35:15.578-07:002010-04-01T06:35:15.578-07:00Really?
