Hi! I'm one of the kickstarter backers, obviously, but I guess I'm a little late to the party. I haven't been actively trying to read up on how this all works until today. I have some fairly fundamental questions about how this game is played/will be played. Sorry if these are really nooby questions. Also sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum... this one just seemed like the best available fit. 

 - Are games played in real-time? I'm getting that impression from the story creation page. When I hit the "publish" button I get a window that says I'm waiting for a hero to join the story, and I don't seem to be able to do anything else at that point. (there's not even a "cancel" or "back" button, which is annoying, but a seperate issue)

 - So, players can create heroes, which they use to play through stories written by other players. What I'm wondering is how does that work when your hero is a talking dog from the planet zebulon, and you try to play through a verisimilar story set in modern-day los angeles? I mean, it seems like you'd wind up with a ton of cases where the hero and the story don't mesh. I'm just wondering what this game's attitude to that is, and if there's some mechanics that are designed to accomodate that somehow. 

That's all for now. I'm sure I'll have a lot more questions later. So far, I'm not finding much help on the website itself. There needs to be a lot more explanation/instruction, since this is a pretty novel little gameplay concept. really excited about the future though!
