.Many role-playinggames don t have a clear Play Structure.Those that do often use the setup-conflict-climax-resolution sequence that s common to dramatic writing.Because InSpectresis more about what happens during the game than about what happens at the end,the Play Structure is concerned with clearly marking out how the game should beplayed.That way, everyone is moving in the same direction and emphasis can beplaced on the moment, rather than trying to cajole the story into a cohesivenarrative.ConfessionalsConfessionals are opportunities for players to temporarily suspend the game andhave their characters speak directly to the other players.During a Confessional, theplayer gets a few minutes to comment on the game thus far, or to jump backward orforward in time to introduce new plot elements, complications or solutions.The termand the technique stem from Reality Shows where one of the participants issequestered in a private location with a camera and shares his or her thoughts onwhat has transpired in the past (and to speculate on what may happen in thefuture).The rules for Confessionals are as follows:" Address the other players as if they were watching the Confessional on television." Confessionals should always add; never negate or detract from the game." Only one player can give a Confessional per scene." Each player can only give and receive one characteristic per game.CharacteristicsCharacteristics are personality traits given to characters during a Confessional.Although they don t have to be incorporated into the personality of the character,there is an incentive for doing so (in the form of a bonus of one franchise die at theend of the game session).Characteristics are fairly fluid and are likely to changefrom one game to the next.Of course, there s no reason why the same characteristiccan t be used for the same character each session.The JobThe Job refers to an actual problem that the InSpectres are hired to investigate andsolve.This happens in several distinct phases:Getting the Call (contact client and learn about the upcoming job)Research/Investigation (research the problem and/or investigate the location andcome up with a possible, plausible explanation)Suiting Up (procure the necessary equipment to deal with the problem)Fieldwork (travel to the scene and deal with the problem)Clean Up (transfer franchise dice to Cards or to the Bank)Vacation (spend dice to remove your agent s stress penalties)38 ii.Reference ChartsThe following charts are used throughout InSpectres and are repeated here for yourconvenient reference.Skill Roll Chart6: Amazing!
