Flashbacks

[Selene Livingstone]

Hi everyone!

I have a question about flashbacks. I would like to write two of them, one set quite few years aback with members of my family and one more recent to describe a solo journey.

So the question is: how do flashback works? Do I write them solo? If I want to interact with an important member of my family should I create an NPC?

thanks!

Hello there!

For flashbacks, you can either write them as solos, or with people who would have been in that area at the same time. It really depends on what you think would work best. Other than taking place in the past, they work just like a normal thread. You write them in the city where they take place, and they should be dated just as you would timestamp a typical thread.

If you have an important family member in the flashbacks, I would say that you should get permission for them via the Help Desk. The general rule of thumb is that if you use the characters more than once, or if they teach your PC anything, you should have some form of permission.

Let me know if anything I said was unclear, or if you have further questions.
