If you really, really don't want (or can't afford) to abort the game, here is a somewhat cumbersome way to solve JS's:
- The stuck Player explains to the Designer where he is stuck. A snapshot is most efficient. He then suspends the game.
- The Designer creates a 'fixed' mansion where he adds whatever is needed for Jack to come unstuck: extra ladder, platform, etc. He sends the Fixed mansion to the Player.
- The Player replaces the Original mansion with the Fixed one (the names must be the same!), resumes the game - and now Jack can use a ladder or platform or whatever to get unstuck.
- Then the Player must again suspend the game and replace the Fixed mansion with the Original version. Jack is not stuck anymore, and the extra ladder, platform, etc. have disappeared again!
Of course it's not perfect but it can help reduce frustration.
