Perhaps there is a fundamental problem here: the scenarios are part of a 
story arc. That is, there is a well defined series of events that are to 
be described/participated in. The ultimate flexibility is to  describe 
people and places, and let the Narrator and players decide how events 
unfold: a publication describing a setting rather than a story.
