Do you guys know of any youtube videos showing how the game is played?

I am having trouble wrapping my head around there not being a dedicated GM and the narrator function rotating between the players.  How does this work and it not end up an improvised mess?

Do others play the game this improvised way or do you work it with a dedicated GM?

Thanks in advance,

Monty

We play it like a regular RPG with a GM.

That's sorta what I thought other groups would be doing.  The freeform way presented in the rulebook didn't quite make sense.

I think you need more experienced, proactive players to play that round-robin style.

I would have to disagree.
IMHO, you need players more interested in telling a narrative story then Roleplaying to use the round-robin style.
As this style is more like round table hot potato narration.
