I'm in the middle of writing a story, and I find that I'm using past tense and present tense verbs interchangeably. This is obviously a bad thing, but I can't decide which one to stick to. Which one is generally better for storygames?
The only reason I would use the past tense is if you are telling a framed story. For example, if your story is a character telling their children a story (like "How I Met Your Mother"), then past tense is appropriate. Otherwise, do what Mizal said.
