allow "cardless games" & scenes
Allow hosts to make a game or single scene cardless.
In a cardless game, narrators still have place, character and obstacle cards to use in a scene, but players do not have to choose any cards for a challenge when playing.
In a cardless scene, same deal, just no challenges will occur.
Why cardless? Allows more flexibility in creating games, and makes the opposite end of the spectrum possible concerning Game Style (An absolute on Focus on Writing, except hosts don't need to make a minimum of cards to start a game, and players don't need to pick cards at all for a character), vs. a Focus on Play type game where cards mean more than the story written.

Yeah, the "cardless scene" aspect is unnecessary - there's nothing saying a narrator has to make challenges every scene. They have to play a place card, I suppose, but that's it.
Unless you're saying there would still be obstacle/character cards, they just wouldn't have challenges attached to them? That would be a nice option to have, actually. Though that should be an individual option at any time you play one of those card types, rather than for a full scene.

I think this feature is already available. When a Narrator designs a scene, it can be done without requiring the use of any obstacle or character cards.
