Oct 28, 2016 at 23:09 comment added doppelgreener @SevenSidedDie Spotlight is about focus -- where people are looking. It's not about how people are contributing whilst the spotlight is on them. Spotlight only looks like the same as narrative balance if/when everyone has narrative balance, and all characters have an equal way to contribute given equal time, but narrative balance is the question of how to ensure they have that.
Oct 28, 2016 at 23:04 comment added SevenSidedDie @doppelgreener I don't really see the difference from [spotlight]. For example, the student having “more spotlight” but no narrative effect doesn't make sense — spotlight isn't just “time on screen”, spotlight is “time contributing to the story in your own unique way.”
Oct 28, 2016 at 23:00 comment added doppelgreener If there is a better term than Narrative Balance for this concept, I would be open to the idea. I've added an excerpt and wiki to the tag to explain the concept.

Oct 28, 2016 at 22:52 comment added doppelgreener @SevenSidedDie I added [narrative] and [balance] because I felt this was a question about narrative balanace: how can these two both be an important contribution in the narrative, without one overshadowing the other? Spotlight management is relevant, but doesn't speak directly to the narrative balance aspect. Consider: one could give the student more spotlight, but still have them ultimately not contribute much to the narrative compared to the master (who probably swoops in and does all the stuff in half the time). I have added a [narrative-balance] tag, a sort of prototype tag for this idea.
Oct 28, 2016 at 17:44 comment added SevenSidedDie Since the problem (“I care little about game balance, I want all the players to have equal screen-time and have their characters shine in and of themselves”) isn't about balance but is about fairly distributing spotlight time, I've edited the tags to suit. If that's in error, an edit for clarification or emphasis may be in order. (Considering some answers have focused on power balance instead of play time balance, that might be in order anyway even if the tag change is correct.)

Oct 28, 2016 at 16:55 comment added SevenSidedDie @JPicasso If you have a question about how the site operates, Role-playing Games Meta is the place to ask. A comment tucked away on a random question somewhere on the site isn't going to be seen by the people who know the answer, and even when it is (like now, because it was flagged), comments are too small to properly answer such questions.

Oct 21, 2016 at 8:21 comment added Sardathrion - against SE abuse @Erik None of the other players have returned with a character concept yet.
Oct 21, 2016 at 8:16 comment added Erik Are the master and apprentice the only players, or do you have more? And if you do, where do they fall on the power-spectrum?
