The Lens of Status

When people interact, they take on different behaviors depending on their status levels. To make sure your characters are more aware of each other, ask yourself these questions:

• What are the relative status levels of the characters in my game?
• How can they show appropriate status behaviors?
• Conflicts of status are interesting - how are my characters vying for status
• Changing of status are interesting - where do they happen in my game?
• How am I giving the player a chance to express status?
