I would also recommend that readers check out your own three-part series of personal reminisces. (I move slowly I still have some comments I need to post.)<br /><br />@Porky<br />It's funny that you say that, I was originally going to dress this up somewhat disingeously as me being all democratic and participatory, but it's more of a sad, sad cry for help than anything (though politically I am all in favor of participatory democracy). <br /><br />Seriously though, I do enjoy the ability to break down the fourth wall and engage your readers more directly that blogging encourages at times. It's a trend that I think would like to experiment more in.<br /><br />@Trey <br />My blogging ideas seem to come in non-linear box cars, my brain flips back to old posts, something I read a few months ago, someone else's old post, etc. and then I mull it around, try it on for size with a few paragraphs. Often I just don't like out it fits and I move on to the next idea.Chris Kutalikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414743509426875792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-4305196620631888392011-04-25T16:42:19.613-05:002011-04-25T16:42:19.613-05:00All of 'em would be interesting, but maybe 3 a...All of 'em would be interesting, but maybe 3 and 4 more so to me.<br /><br />I'm just amazed at your level od critical discernment! I have only a couple of aborted posts in blogger. I don't get ideas quick enough to throw too many away after writing a bit! I gotta go with whatever I come up with. ;)Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-83985209039694872622011-04-25T16:28:47.375-05:002011-04-25T16:28:47.375-05:00I'd be interested in them all too.

Every blogger could put up a list of stubs like this once a week and have the decision on what to develop made by the readers.

Jeff Rients did this recently with Boot Hill. I think Gangbusters was based on a premise that Players with cops and robbers would be at the same table (not sure how that worked in play), and now you mention Top Secret . . .Telecanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238356788092725244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-72774585943729011632011-04-25T15:12:58.227-05:002011-04-25T15:12:58.227-05:00"The Fantasy Game" I take it is a homage..."The Fantasy Game" I take it is a homage to Gary Gygax's working title for Dungeons and Dragons before publication?<br /><br />My vote goes to two and four.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-46072681485424199022011-04-25T15:05:40.399-05:002011-04-25T15:05:40.399-05:00I'd be most interested in "The Fantasy Ga...I'd be most interested in "The Fantasy Game".letsdamagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02145102722055581254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-43495827249411157512011-04-25T14:48:02.928-05:002011-04-25T14:48:02.928-05:00The problem is that I have a hard time sifting thr...The problem is that I have a hard time sifting through the ideas that have merit, but flawed execution and the ones that just suck outright. I picked some of the better ones, so perhaps these are ok, but I just can't say definitively. <br /><br />Long-winded way of saying, yes that's sorta of helpful Ken. (I will take your question as a soft vote for three.)<br /><br />Yeah sure, there were some ideas that flowed out of the Holmes discussion, but the bulk of it was coming out of the work with the alternative chargen subsystems and the opening discussions of what would become the current Domain Game project. <br /><br />Thanks for the input at any rate.Chris Kutalikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414743509426875792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-47133765875652792692011-04-25T14:40:40.094-05:002011-04-25T14:40:40.094-05:00I hate to say, Chris, but I think all four are top...I hate to say, Chris, but I think all four are topics I would read. Doesn't really help you I suppose, but that's the price for success harhar. <br /><br />I guess if pressed I'd say three sounds pretty intriguing. Is this related to that Holmes Expert experiment you were thinking about a while back?Kennethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03434058089000449140noreply@blogger.com
