I found the information on how scenes weren't even one of the original steps highly clarifying. It's always confused me somewhat that the use of scenes as a prep step doesn't really follow the logic of the method (because scenes should be able to emerge spontaneously from the interaction with NPCs, locations and secrets); and yet I also find that noting possible scenes DOES have a particular kind of stabilising / anchoring function in making one feel prepped. So it was very clarifying to have all this kind of confirmed. The one thing I do that I'm always surprised never to hear mentioned as a possibility is to make a short list of possible EVENTS: things that might or will happen during that game session at some point (or a future one). I often find that substituting this step for scenes is quicker, leaves more flexibility and achieves the same outcome of fleshing out an answer to the question: 'what might happen?'.
