Question about the Commencement.

[deadboy]

During the race:

Since the players have the ability to remotely control the race car, can the driver use Aid other on the character piloting skill and can other players do Aid other for shooting?

Also it references players can take control of an allied car but it doesn't say that players can influence the other drivers. Talking to the other drivers looks like a dead end action.

Ignore my second question. I ran the game today and figured that one out. BUT! now I have a new question.

How do you all suggest tracking distance? I thought about breaking out a map and writing up a 20 square track but I think it would have to be only a one lane track. So that makes me feel like the playsers are playing sorry rather than MarioCart. IDK what do you think?

It might be easier to read up on how people have handled it in the Society forums: GM Thread for 1-01 the Commencement.

I printed out NPC pictures which fitted nicely side by side on a flipmat, and simply moved them forward and wrote the distance they were at underneath it.
