<h1>CONFLICT SCENES</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When the story gets to a climax, when the stakes are high and when every split
|
||||
second can make a difference, a conflict scene begins.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A conflict is a series of back-and-forth exchanges at a rapid pace. You have
|
||||
no doubt encountered something like this in movies and TV series: time slows
|
||||
down and the camera zooms in on every single action.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>What might make for good conflicts:</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>A chase scene amidst the narrow city alleys.</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
An infiltration scene where some of the characters sneak past enemy
|
||||
surveillance, perhaps while allies provide a useful distraction or cover
|
||||
operation.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
A skirmish between armed groups or a fight against a dangerous monster.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>A large-scale battle involving clashing armies from enemy kingdoms.</li>
|
||||
<li>A tense audience with a powerful figure.</li>
|
||||
<li>A duel between two ancient rivals.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>USING CONFLICTS</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As with any other scene, the Game Master is responsible for declaring the
|
||||
beginning and end of conflicts. The ability to properly time conflicts is
|
||||
something that can only be developed by playing the game. Draw inspiration
|
||||
from how videogames, movies, and comics handle pacing — consuming a variety of
|
||||
different media can really help keep things fresh!
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Something you should never forget is that you are not bound to use conflict
|
||||
rules for every battle, chase or debate — instead, you should save them for
|
||||
truly dramatic situations. Checks and Clocks will often be more than enough to
|
||||
resolve a scene, without the added complexity of conflict rules.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>In general, aim for about one conflict scene every two hours of play.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>THE STRUCTURE OF A CONFLICT</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The flowchart on the right illustrates all the main steps of a conflict scene.
|
||||
Each step will be explained in greater detail over the course of this section.
