Game in the Brain

I’m still hammering away at it. I’ve under-estimated the amount of hours it would take to gamify this.

If there is a long task in the game system: gamify it. Character creation should be gamified. If its a big front loaded task, it should stand on its own as a session.

• the GM doesnt do this alone in his free time and instead share this fun with his players. It should take him 10-15 minutes to do this as a test run to know how the system work. 
• There should be a checklist in the end (my experience of running the Traveller character creation) to make sure all elements are created. 
• Layout and Information Load should be strategically assessed. Currently I’m going for 2-page spread for the lite, and 4-page spread for the long outline of Roles and Tasks. Then Appendix all the details.
• The long may need to have some helpful details like page references. The long has to explain some historical details like peoples and roles. 
• Flow from process to process is going to be a challenge.  
• The Appendix is easily searchable epub or pdf. the player should be able to find the details easily. 

You’ll noticed I’ve scaled down the task since I only  have 3-4 hours a week in total to write for game in the brain and my research projects. The thinking part of writing takes up valuable time of the writing process which I need to break up and do in the free moments throughout the day.

Asymmetric Status in a group. now this is takes a much longer post. feel free to ignore the status roll or average the status roll of the entire group to get the group’s status.
