Re: OUT OF CHARACTER THREAD
In reply to Smiles (msg # 27):
Listen up everyone!
I'm seeking a volunteer with a penchant for writing.
More specifically a chronicler. Some one who wants to write about the group's adventures.
The chronicler will describe the progress and antics of this Edgewatch patrol unit.
The point of this other than entertainment is to give players an evolving record, so there will be no confusion about what has happened and what they are supposed to be doing and why.
I've found that in many pbp games people become confused about these things since pbp can move slowly.
The chronicles should also record and keep track of what information the patrol has uncovered, and perhaps pose questions about missing information.
If this is too big a job for one person, we could also rotate this task around the group, so that everyone who wants gets a turn writing these chronicles.
I think this will really help people stay on track, and understand what they do and don't know as a group.
