[QUOTE="Clight101, post: 4173255, member: 21377"] Thanks Kallisti, those are some excellent idea's. I do study philosophy outside of my schooling as well as anthropology but never Psychoanalysis or even thought to look at Qabalah. I'll have to pick up a book or two on it. Andre I know you can't make it as a freelancer. My degree is going to be primarily a creative writing degree and I'm planing on getting my masters in Editing. It's just if I had my choice of job it would be as a writer/game designer for a company. Plus as they say if your work is very good and out there someone will hire you. Thanks for the concern though. I agree with you whole heartedly about the writing classes. I've already taken a lot of them and have several more lined up before I graduate. Practice makes perfect as they say. Thanks Fallen Seraph, that is immensely helpful. I've know there are Game design theory classes out there I'm just trying to find a bunch of them to compare what they teach. I imagine it would be very similar but I'd still like to know. George Brown is on my list of college to research their programs. Just to clarify I go to a school where many of the classes I take are guided independent study and we build our degree to fit what we want to do with it. The degree I'm building is to make me a well rounded creative writer but it has a focus on Game design specifically Role Playing games. I'm still writing and reading short stories, non fiction and the novel and writing longer works. With that are elements of the RPG game design industry. So when I graduate I won't only know how to write in the traditional formats but I'll have studied and worked in non traditional formats of adventure design, rules design and supplement design. What I'm asking for is what classes would you take for this purpose and why would you take them or if they exist where would you take them so i can reference them in my program rational. It's an essay that defines what my program is and why the classes I wish to take work of it. So yeah I'm out here asking the general public for their opinion as part of my research. I thank you all so far for your input. It has been quite helpful. [/QUOTE]
