[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 9310532, member: 6785785"] I’d try and make Scores out of some of those. Like when a player proposes something, just say “that sounds like a Score” and then try and shift the game that way. Or jot it down as a possible Score. See if anyone else has any similar ideas and then jot those down. Then see which one they’d like to do first. It may also be possible to handle some of these as Long Term Projects during Downtime.
