Anatomy of an Action Scene

From ars ludi:
  1. Premise — the situation before the PCs arrive
  2. Enter the Heroes — how and why the PCs become involved
  3. Revelations — pivotal things the PCs find out during the scene
  4. Action — what happens during the scene
  5. Action Shticks — optional sub-challenges that may come up
  6. Finale — what concludes the scene – there may or may not be a climactic moment, depending on the scenario
  7. Aftermath — any post-action wrap-up or consequences
