OK, Adam, let me say that my experience with this form is quite limited.  We
have a "storyboard" on our system, & there have been several attempts to 
get/keep a story alive, all of which have failed.  The primary problems that
I have seen:
1)Lack of continuity.  To many little fingers have been in the pie, & the story
line gets lost.  Granted that this form should have a much looser concept of
story line, still, if the context is medival forest, lasers would seem to be
an inappropreate weapon.
2)Digresions into who was sabotaging who's character, etc.
3)Start up of another, non-compatable story in the midst of the existing story.

Next?
