The Play:

Players maybe simple wayfarers -- "innocent agents" -- or they may assert an active role in generating the story's progress. As innocent agents, players lack clear knowledge and expectation of their ability to alter the state of the dreamscape or of the encompassing narrative. Once they accept a role, players are expected to perform certain functions and to actively seek rewards within the narrative. As Guides, Seers, Goddesses, or Demi-Gods, players possess certain powers. Through their access to maps, signs, knowledge, transformational resources, and each other, these players affect strategies and create narrative transformations according to an iterative preocess of intervention and adjustment.
