Crude outline done
Nov. 16th, 2009 09:15 pmI have just finished writing the crude first draft of my RPG system. This is only the portion of the rules used to play the game (including character creation) and does not include the storyteller section. Still, it means that I have enough of the skeleton assembled for a playtest next month or so.
The word count thus far is approximately 32K, though this is missing at least another couple thousand words worth of examples. That is also only half of the final product. Still, I think that is about the correct length for the game at this stage of development. I think the final product will be about 80k or so at this current guesstimate.
I will try to use this period of time to do some basic editing of the last paragraph, preparing quick reference sheets and perhaps even work on the website content for some more respectable web presence. In either case, I will be hardly resting on my laurels though I might permit myself a little more sleeping time and a little less ceaseless toil.
