Hi LC

Its a quantum leap for most folk. What I normallly do is get them to give me a list of 10 abilities they would like, and then start the narrative.

> "Shut up and Listen"
> "Get into Trouble"
> "Get out of Trouble by the Skin of My Teeth"
> "There/Not There" (this is the Batman/Crow/Angel ability to show up
> mysteriously, and disappear when the person looks away. It's also
her
> highest ability.)
> "Unrecognizable Face"
> "Fear Me"
> "Totally Unable to Scare Children"
> "I've Met You Before, Haven't I?"

Thus;

Bolthor is and Esrolian hunter and devotee of Zong the Hunter. He likes to shut up and listen. Always getting into trouble, he manages to get out of troublke by the skin of his teeth. He uses his there/ not there feat to make people fear him. Although he posses the unrecognizable face, folk always ask 'I've met you before haven't I? He is totally unable to scare children.

Thats 69 words. Give them that and say you can add 30 words, taking extra abilities all my reluctant guys have got into it and completed the narrative. If you try it, let me know if it works.

Regards
Rob
