    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 have currently run into a situation where one player has exited a scene, and I am waiting on a few others to finish the last challenge in the current scene. They aren't "laggards" per se, just addressing a second obstacle in the current scene, unrelated to the player in question.

    The other two players do not necessarily need to be involved in the next scene, so it would be nice to complete it in parallel with the other two players completing the current scene... hopefully that makes sense.

    Note that this issue would not be resolved by allowing multiple place cards, since the player in question has already played her 3 cards per scene, and would not then still be unable to participate further in the current scene.
