Ope, I think this is a minor typo! The latter sentence should say "Then play chapters scenes in any order you choose." I'll add it to our list of stuff to fix in the reprint.
In short:
- Play the chapters in order, 1, then 2, then 3, and so on.
- Chapters 1 & 4 do not require you to play the scenes within them in order (You could, for instance, play scene A, then scene C, then scene B)
- Chapters 2 and 3 require their component scenes to be navigated in a more specific order for narrative continuity (unless you modify their contents). The path is A->B->Star or C->D->Star. After reaching the star, you can choose to play the other path to complete every scene in the chapter or go straight to the boss of that chapter.
- Chapter 5 scenes are played in order because [REDACTED] is [REDACTED] and you'll have to deal with [REDACTED].
Also, thanks for the review and it was lovely to see you at Gamehole Con! I'm really glad the Saturday morning cartoons energy really shines through. I had a blast in playtesting rolling giant piles of dice as the GM, it really adds a lot a ton of gravitas to the big bad guys or to large swarms of baddies. I hope you can get it to the table soon, and I'd love to hear how it goes!
