To do list

I keep getting ideas for things. Let me remind myself of projects I want to do when I can get my head out from school.

Games: HGMO and Clover, Nvguo: the country of women
Essays: Neo-liberalism, the idea deficit, and you; Don't let the fundamentalists own history; a lot about China (currency crunch, for inst); why voting works and when it doesn't; critique of REDDER; bigger models: cultural context, cultural agenda; basic structures and failures of a state.
Books: Yes, books.

Did/will you ever do anything more with Shonen Fantasy Game?

Not immediately. That's not really how my game design process works. It's more like I spend several years with games bouncing around unformed in my head, and then suddenly I go "aha! You! I know how to design you!" and then I do.

So, uh, %20 within the next four years.

If you want to take any of the stuff I wrote about and write it yourself, please do that instead. Saves me the effort.

The list = so tantalizing!

:D Thanks.

I've been meaning to talk to you and Jono about Nvguo. It needs collaborators, and the two of you would be ideal.

It's basically a simulation of mid-Tang central Asian geopolitics. Set in Nvguo, of course.

Haha. Awesome. Yes, please tell us more! (Preferably by email, since Jono doesn't read the LiveJournal.)
