hacking into freeform

June 28th, 2008

I was catching up on old articles today, which recombined a few ideas nicely. For one thing: I was inspired to reread about “leading with the fiction” and also see the results so far of Levi’s Amagi Games project (where, among other things, he’s posting lots of rules modules to tweak your existing game). What I’m inspired to try some time is a nearly-freeform game, with using some of Levi’s structural hacks to provide just enough situation design and hand-holding. I’m also hoping I can learn from Brand’s advice on Pacing a Narrative Game – that stuff ain’t rules but it could easily be important, at least given where my current skills are.
