I tend to skirt the problem by sandboxing and being decent at improv. I often start with a random encounter and work back from there. What are doing here? What or who got them there? In a few sessions I usually have enough hooks for a sandbox that branches out fractal-like from my off-the-cuff assumptions that I develop between sessions.
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
How do you go about it?
ReplyDeleteI have no process. Think about it until it's not as shitty as it was before.

ReplyDeleteI've found Felipe to be barren of good ideas. Why we even include him is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteThis is me too. I think I should try something other than come up with adventure ideas. Like illustrating or doing layout.
