Transcript

Want to ask the storyteller something, without it happening in the story? That’s what OOC is for.

Open the action type, and pick OOC... out of character.

Ask about anything in the story. Your note is marked out of character.

The storyteller answers in its own voice, briefly... and nothing in the story moves.

Memories and the recap leave this exchange out, and Loom waits. But the storyteller still reads it.

When you’re ready, press Continue, and the story picks up again.

Want to skip ahead in time? Do that in Custom. A note like this one moves the story. Now you can step out whenever you need to. Next up: calling your character.
