Every scene, any time. Only today's scene counts as your daily.

Good RP gets you the best finishes; metagaming, powergaming and fail RP get you some very memorable ones.

What good RP decisions look like

Good roleplay is mostly about giving the scene somewhere to go. React the way your character would, with only what your character knows. Leave room for other people to answer. Treat danger as dangerous. And stay in the story until it ends, even when it is not going your way. None of that means playing safe or boring: some of the best scenes come from a character making a bad decision for a good, in-character reason.

Why these mistakes break scenes

Metagaming: Using what you saw on a stream, in Discord or in chat. Your character could never know it, so the other players' secrets and surprises stop working.
Powergaming: Deciding the outcome for other people, or doing the impossible with one line. Nobody else gets to play their side.
Fear RP: Ignoring a threat that would scare a real person. The danger stops meaning anything, and the scene goes flat.
Fail RP: Breaking character, or logging off to dodge a consequence. Everyone else is left in a scene that just stopped.

Questions

Is this from GTA 6 or a real server?

No. Every Story Night scene is an original, generic roleplay moment written for GTA6 Roleplay. There are no official characters or real people, and places are either confirmed regions of Leonida or generic spots like a diner or the docks.

How do the endings work?

Each scene has 8 endings. Good calls lead to the strong finishes; one risky shortcut changes how it ends; and each classic mistake ends the scene early, with a short lesson and a link to the guide on that mistake. Find all 8 in any scene for the legendary Story Collector card.

Which scene is today's?

One scene a day, the same for everyone, picked by the day of the week (UTC). Finishing it counts as one of today's dailies. Every scene is open any time in the practice archive below.

What does "players reached this ending" mean?

When you finish today's scene, your ending is counted anonymously (a random id, no name, nothing you type), one per browser per day. The share of each ending appears once 20 players have finished; before that we only show how many have played.
