When we know why our characters are behaving the way they are, they become easier to play. Exploring justifications can give us new routes to play the game and provide layered, dynamic scenes.This class focuses on exploring why our characters do the things they do. Can we justify every decision, every action, and every beat, so we have scenes rooted in purpose. I’m just asking you to justify yourself, prove to be somewhat reasonable.
