[UA] UA Amnesia scenarios

[Scott McDaniel]

When I read these and the initial idea, I began to wonder "Well, okay
- how ~would~ I create this scene for the players?"

One idea that came to mind was to let them play in flashbacks...but
have them switch roles several times, and let them try to piece
together who they are as the character in the amnesia scene.
Similar to Memento or realizing in Dead Again
(****SPOILER****)
that people aren't remembering who they are in the way they think they are.
