Though the Game Masters determine plot, the game is not a pre-determined script. “Let’s be serious,” Alessandro says. “We’re students. We don’t have time at all to come up with a plan.” He said it offhandedly as he was about to start running a session...
...Earhart standing on the wing of her plane - by an actress giving a very studied and careful but wooden performance. Screenwriters Ron Bass and Anna Hamilton Phelan (Gorillas in the Mist) appear to have gobbled up every quotable line ever attributed to Earhart and then regurgitated it into a script.
