Heck with it, here's the entire section.  Examples are in italics.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Whose Path Have You Crossed?</strong><br/>(Guest Starring)<br/>In this phase, you tie the group together by having each character contribute a minor, supporting role in another character’s first adventure. For instance, imagine the role that Karrin Murphy, Michael Carpenter, or a pack of amazing young werewolves might play in a novel about Harry’s exploits.<br/><br/>You will now give your story (which is where our index card suggestion comes in really handy) to another player. You can pass your stories to the left or right, or shuffle the stack and hand them out randomly (trading with the person to your right until you each have a title that isn’t yours). However you decide to do it, every player should now be holding someone else’s adventure.<br/><br/>Your character has a supporting role in the story you’re holding, which you get to come up with right now. Briefly discuss the story with the player whose adventure it is and add a sentence or phrase to the summary or story skeleton to reflect your character’s supporting role. Next, write the title of this story and your character’s contribution down on your phase worksheet. This is important, because your character gets an aspect from the supporting role he plays in the adventure. The person whose story it is should also write down the contribution, if there’s room on his sheet.<br/><br/>Supporting roles come in three forms: they complicate a situation, solve a situation, or both.<br/><br/>Complicating a situation: Your character has managed to make some part of the story you’re guest starring in uncertain. Of course, since that happened in the past, we know you got out of it all right (or mostly all right, as indicated by the aspect you take). When describing this, don’t worry about how the situation is<br/>resolved—leave that for someone else, or leave it open. Descriptions like “Trying to save a girl, Michael starts a giant monster fight” or “Thomas gets captured by the monster” are enough to get some ideas flowing.<br/><br/>Solving a situation: Your character somehow solves a complication that the main character in the story has to deal with, or your character aides the main character in the central conflict. When describing this, you don’t have to mention how the situation was created, just how your character takes care of it. Descriptions like “Murphy travels with Harry to the Nevernever, watching his back” or “Billy and the Alphas take on some foes to buy time for Harry” are enough<br/>to give us an idea of what happens.<br/><br/>Complicating and solving: Here, your character either solves one situation but creates another, or creates a situation but later solves a different one. Mash up the two ideas, using the word “later” in between them, such as: “Murphy comes to Harry, stumped by a mysterious case. Later, she helps him fight off a beast in a department store.”<br/><br/><em>Example: Jim ends up with the card for Shannon’s character, Karrin Murphy. They talk about what he might contribute to the story, and Jim advocates for the direct route—Harry comes in with a display of power and helps save the day. Shannon agrees. The card for Murphy’s “Restoration of Faith” story says: “When a child is missing, beat-cop Karrin Murphy goes looking for her. But will she succeed when a troll comes into the picture?” Jim adds, “Harry Dresden gets right<br/>up in the troll’s face, trades some quips with it, and unloads on it—using its own weapon to smash it!” Jim decides to take Epic Wiseass for Harry, as befits both the quips and the nature of his achievements.</em><br/><br/><strong>Who Else’s Path Have You Crossed?</strong><br/>(Guest Starring Redux)<br/>The fifth phase is identical to the fourth phase, with the sole caveat that no character can contribute to the same story twice. Thus, each character should have a starring role in his own story, as well as a supporting role in two others.<br/><br/><em>Example: “Welcome to the Jungle”—When an ape called Moe stands accused of a murder he did not commit, can Willamena Rogers clear his name?—Mortal cop Karrin Murphy is assigned to the case, and doesn’t buy the official story. She calls in a consultant she happens to know who needs the money...—Harry<br/>uncovers a plot cooked up by a trio of hecatean hags, and manages to defeat them with the help of Moe the Gorilla.</em>
