Excerpt: 

Every player in the game is responsible for certain elements of the story. Except for the Producer [a bit like a GM], each player takes control of one main character (a protagonist) and will decide that character's motivations and decisions. Players can also contribute to the details surrounding minor characters, locations, and other parts of the story. [...] Instead of choosing a main character, the producer makes choices for antagonists, and provides adversity for the characters in the game to respond to.
