Starting to Feel It

[drcpunk.livejournal.com]

Team Straightjackets Optional met on Monday, and we started to iron out some of the Ghost Fu issues. I also raised my concerns with Presque Vu, and was told that the problem wasn't what I thought it was, but rather that we needed more plot. Looked at from that angle, it was still daunting at first, but it began to make more sense to me when I started to look at when and how memories would return.

Note to zrealm: I've already started documenting how memories come back. We will make new mistakes this time!

Today, I took a look at some specific characters in Presque Vu and started writing. This resulted in a small chunk of text for three of the PCs, moving some text that existed only in email to the wiki, and detailing a few bits of the backstory. crash_mccormick and I realized that some of the pieces are already beginning to fit together neatly. I feel a lot better about the game, even though we really are just beginning to connect the dots.

Naturally, this means Dark of the Moon is getting short shrift. Team Kindly Cats has authorized me to suggest name changes for characters and things that need them as at least a small step towards progress, but I should push for actual meetings. And, I'm wondering if it would be utterly absurd to suggest absorbing jlighton onto what is currently a group of 7 cooks and 1 advisor.
