Excerpt: 

In this game, the responsibility for the group's enjoyment is evenly distributed among all of the participants. As long as something is reasonable, the players can describe it as existing in the story. If they're in a forest, they can introduce sticks, stones, wild animals, and so on into the scene. If they are in a city, they can describe cracks in the street, ladders at the side of a building, and anything else that could be found in such a place, even if it's unlikely. Notice that the standard is reasonable, not probable. As long as it's possible and its introduction doesn't ruin other players' fun, it should stand.
