Loops structure roleplay at three levels: Meta Loops handle planning and reflection, Macro Loops guide overarching narratives, and Micro Loops focus on in-game actions. Together, they create a balanced, adaptable framework for storytelling.

This Meta Loop is a structured approach to creating, maintaining, and evolving the social dynamics at the table for roleplaying games or collaborative storytelling. It focuses on fostering a positive and engaging environment where everyone feels included and their preferences are respected.
This Loop is designed to prioritize the table as a shared space, where trust, creativity, and mutual enjoyment drive the experience forward.
When your hero takes an action in the story, the leader may ask you to roll the action die.
Regardless of the outcome, it will influence the story. The result could favor your hero (5 or 6), have mixed consequences (2, 3, or 4), or lead to something unfortunate (1).
If your hero has a related tag to the action, you have the option to re-roll.
Once the die is rolled, the leader explains the outcome. While you can often add to the story, the final decision rests with the game master.
Frame provides a unique and engaging way to develop social skills in a safe and creative environment. Through structured reflection and intentional practice, participants can work on communication, collaboration, empathy, and conflict resolution.
By integrating a practice-focused meta loop, players are encouraged to set clear goals, reflect on their progress, and connect in-game experiences to real-world situations. This approach supports continuous growth and helps participants build confidence in their interpersonal abilities.
