We will soon be adding the ability for the narrator to explicitly specify which characters are in a given scene. Would that help a bit?
Meanwhile, you can visually segment the action in a scene by using a horizontal rule (“
-” in our layout syntax). Note also that the system does not require that players make a move in every scene. So you can ask someone to “sit this one out” and the scene will be able to progress just fine. Hopefully these techniques can get you un-stuck for the time being?Regarding simultaneous scenes, we’ve received this suggestion from a couple of other users, too, and so we are thinking hard about how we could add it to Storium without making things difficult to use and understand. It’s high on our list so please stay tuned.
Thanks for the feedback!

I haven't been in any games as a player, but I thought everyone was required to make a move and choose an outcome before the scene could end? Players have at least commented that you can't choose an outcome without making an accompanying move.

Great suggestion, thank you! We like the idea of some manner of player-to-play recognition, and Karma might be a way to do it. Longer term we are also considering audience recognition — that is, people who are reading your story but not playing in it.

Yes! Love it!
This is something we have thought about quite a lot but have not yet built. We absolutely want Storium to support both short stories and long, ongoing tales that might span multiple “books”. Chapters aren’t quite the same thing — they’re just thematic demarcations within a single story.
It’s a fair bet that we will add this ability to Storium in the future, and we should be able to do it in a way that works for games and worlds you create today.

As a temporary measure, it could be enough to let us save off our created Worlds to reuse in later games. By the look of the starter Worlds list, maybe you have this in mind already, but I think that'd help!

...oh man, I tried it just now and it totally works. I guess I was reading the "should" in "You should wait to start the next scene until all players have made at least one move and finished their part in the scene by choosing an outcome" as a rule rather than a suggestion!
