Tempo

Components

Reconsider Tempo

The Reconsider Tempo card allows the Guide to decide how quickly the story progresses and what units of time the story focuses on.

The Guide may move a card from the top of the Tempo Deck to the bottom. The Guide may repeat this as many times as they wish.

Then, activate the top card of the Tempo Deck.

Tempo Deck

The Tempo Deck is an ordered pile of nine face-up cards. Eight cards are units of time. The ninth card defines the Tempo Deck and serves as a reference to players.

The top card of the Tempo Deck shows what units of time the current scene transpires in.

For example, if the top Tempo card is Days then the story focuses on what characters do each day but the individual hours, minutes, and moments of those days are not particularly important to the story.
