 <adm question How long is a Scene?>
   * It is as long as you decide. They usually are delineated by a change of location or the passing of time without any specific action. Scenes often last less than an hour.
   * Vampire V20 describes a scene this way: "a time and place in which actions and events take place moment by moment," (p. 513) and "like the basic division of plays and movies, a scene is a compact period of action and interaction that takes place in a single location. This could be the storming of a Tremere chantry, or a moonlit conversation on a park bench. There are exactly as many turns in a scene as the scene requires - there might not even be any turns if the scene consists of nothing but dialogue and character interaction." (p. 254)
