Brad-
In a word, yes! Playing a Jason Vorhees or Micheal Myers type character (I call them Maniacs) is a big part of the fun of the game. You can also play a Teenager, which is my blanket term for "victim." Of course, the last Teenager standing becomes a Final Girl, at which point the entire game shifts dramatically in her favor.

I'm not sure your definition is consistent.
You start with a Turning Poiunt, but then you explain this in terms of scene or chapter breaks, and then your 3 instances focus again on turning points. But a Chapter break normally occurs when a theme has played out, at least in the short run whereas a release of new information could as easily occur in the middle of a crucial scene that still needs to play out. I guess my point is that a turning point can as easily occur in the peak of a narrative you DON'T want to break (especially if we are talking new information) as in the space between chapters or scenes. So, befrore looking for more breaks, I can't help wondering if the core concept needs clarification.
...but then again, I'm wrong a lot.
