What's Next?

I'm going to start eliminating the cruft from the 'chapters' in my TheUnseen.blogspot.com blog. I've just changed all of them to originating in February, if I remove the cruft, I can send people to the February batch as an example of a rough draft (and give me something to port over to The Unseen Wiki).

I'm also going to start putting a list of my blogs on some of my posts to introduce people to my blog cloud. In case you're wondering why I post so slowly, check it out! I'm posting on all ten of my blogs.

• Scattershot presents: Universe 6 - The super-hero product for Scattershot
  
• Scattershot presents: The Unseen - An ARG LARP for Scattershot
• The Scattershot Design Continuum - This weblog
• Fish or Sofa Magazine - For all things Scattershot
• Costumentality - A Webcomik I aspire to do based in Universe 6
• Impswitch Development Thinking - An isometric turn-based strategy MMORPG I tinker with
• Azeroth Gazette - I do have other hobbies (World of Warcraft: email me for the server)
• Cerebrum Abusive Ideas - Just ideas to hurt your brain, that's all
  

And I have a short article on Role-Play Gateway.

Outside of that, it's been a quiet fortnight.

See you in 14,

I'm going to begin building out The Unseen wiki using Tikiwiki. In there I will be bringing in all the old material I can (for archives) and fleshing out the game as I can. By some deadline, I hope to make 'the rules' pages print out nicely (like book pages). Other 'live' gaming materials will be formatted as downloadables or web-supplements.

I'll be doing the same for Universe 6 (although not with Tikiwiki). Both will allow me to write out more detailed explanations or descriptions for things than I could ever do in print. A full 'how-to' section will give me a starting place to write the final chapter of the same material for print. I'll be able to really flesh out NPCs and Extras on these wikis. I'd also like to link them to a shared chara design engine that prints out to PDFs.

In the distant future, The Unseen wiki will also host the playtest for the ARG and the LARP of it. Hopefully developing into The Unseen social networking site.

All of my development blogs will become just that, nothing more. I may even set up a archival section of all the notes I've ever taken for Scattershot. I AM planning on typing those all up (and having my home go paperless).

In more Scattershotish news, I've been strongly pondering how each games' metaphors and symbolism will integrate and support their Fruitful Voids.

We've finally decided that 'Safe Word' terminology belongs in all supplements, not just the mature 'romance novel' book.

See you in about a fortnight.
