So part of designing Polaris is designing these little ritual phrases that you have to say at various points in the game. I had one in the first draft, which was "and so it was..." at the beginning and the end of each scene, and it was pretty well-recieved by playtesters.

I wrote some for chargen today. Thought you might enjoy them, just as pieces of writing.

And that's my day so far. I'm hoping to go see the new Zhang Yimou moving today, and work on my Strategy and Tactics article for the new Daedalus E-Zine. Gamers -- if you have not read Daedalus, do. It kicks my ass and I'm proud for the chance to write for it.

What system could I use to play an elf with two guns? Like this guy, here.

Yeah, I know, d20 Modern, but I want to be able to do cool shit like shoot other people's bullets out of the air.

Suggestions?

My first and hopefully only work of fanfic.

An explanation of the below post, for those that do not read funwithrage's journal.

Das Meme:

Write something for me. Just for me. Post it in your journal so everyone else can see it, too. A sentence, a paragraph. Nanofiction. Short story. A scene, dialogue, a picture described, a moment, anything. Long or short. But it's got to be just for me. Tell the world you wrote it for me, even. Mine.


Then feel free to put this up in your own journal, and I'll reciprocate.


I'm going to amend this a bit for my personal use. Write or draw or produce some art that you think I'd like to see. It doesn't have to be just for me, nor does it have to be writing. Just have me in mind.

edit: inconsistent LJ code is sad.
