And no first drafts. You can think about what you're going to write, and study for it, but you can't write down so much as a lede until the day you plan to do it.<br /><br />I have days off coming before Christmas. It's either then, or the 2nd of January.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-25908679149832309052011-12-01T12:59:07.395-07:002011-12-01T12:59:07.395-07:00For shits and giggles I went over to my blog to se...For shits and giggles I went over to my blog to see if I had any handful of posts that made sense together already and added up to 10,000 words. My intent was to see if I, too, could get to 10,000 without stretching too far. Four posts written about a year ago regarding the roles of dice, DM and player in the game came in at just under 6,000 and might be the best I've ever written on game philosophy. I know the challenge may be for yourself, but I might take you up on it anyway... particularly now that the online game in on hold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-81171114411137950202011-12-01T12:28:54.771-07:002011-12-01T12:28:54.771-07:00The philosophy of the game.
