-A [[:Game Mechanics:Scene#Scene|Scene]] is a mechanical term used to describe and break the larger segments of the narrative into manageable game play chunks. [[:Game Mechanics:Scene#Scene|Scenes]] are made up of one or more [[:Game Mechanics:Encounter|Encounters]], as that is where the bulk of the game is played, however [[:Game Mechanics:Scene#Scene|Scenes]] may also include some non-role play moments as well, that might not warrant an [[:Game Mechanics:Encounter]], such as travel, crafting or shopping and inventory management. A [[:Game Mechanics:Scene#Scene|Scene]] usually encompasses all of the events at a specific location such as a science facility or a city, but it can also be contained to smaller locations such as a casino inside of the city or the floors of a science facility.+A [[:Game Mechanics:Scene|Scene]] is a mechanical term used to describe and break the larger segments of the narrative into manageable gameplay chunks.

-The length of a [[:Game Mechanics:Scene#Scene|Scene]] is variable and is largely determined by the needs of the story. As a general rule, a [[:Game Mechanics:Scene#Scene|Scene]] lasts for the duration of all of the events relating to a specific goal or objective. While the [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Game Master]] will typically determine when a [[:Game Mechanics:Scene#Scene|Scene]] begins and ends, the [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Cast Member|Cast]] are encouraged to help identify these transitions, as [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Appropriate]].+The length of a [[:Game Mechanics:Scene|Scene]] is variable and is largely determined by the needs of the story.
