Storyjamming has some things in common with Joseph Campbell’s “Hero’s Journey,” as well as Arnold van Gennep’s rites of passage, and traditional hunting practiced by the Yukaghirs in southern Russia. Understanding what they all have in common helps us understand how to approach it, and why storyjamming provides us with something so human and so necessary.

Cool. Will be looking forward to knowing more about warm-up techniques.
Here’s an idea for the Screen Presence XPs: give them before the session begins so that a possible extra boost in abilities can relate to the extra protagonism during that episode. Perhaps you already do that
but I would also consider giving out 0, 2 and 4, instead of 1, 2 and 3.
Sorry for the delay in getting session #11 out, folks. The first recording didn’t meet our quality standards, so we recorded it a second time. Now it’s just the craziness at work and my resulting lack of time and energy by the time I get home that’s in the way. We have a good episode on file, and as soon as I finish editing it, you’ll have it!
