Some musical types hew closer to the written score than others (classical vs. jazz for example), but even in the "tighter" forms, there's still a ton of interpretation in a performance beyond the written page.

Tom Clancy's Beloved
I don't think I really appreciated it at the time, but in retrospect, I think that for me, the best thing about being a baby was not having to go to work.

24.07.2025 16:35 โ ๐ 10 ๐ 5 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 1That's a really good point. What happens immediately after the conversation described in the Mothership example? The GM just...decides whether or not the monster finds the PC. Based presumably on the quality of the conversation, but is that going to make the player feel better if they get eaten?
