Message: <blockquote data-quote="FitzTheRuke" data-source="post: 8164270" data-attributes="member: 59816">[spoiler="Further Thoughts"]I forgot to mention - my brain would NOT get off of trying to explain mechanically how the minecart chase should play out. I didn't have the time, or the space (word count) to actually do that. Reading my entry over, I see that cutting what I had written out, left the "faster car" a little weak. It was by far more, the faster car, when there was more there about how to overtake the other cars. I don't actually like including game mechanics in the entry - for one, they are probably more useful if they're system agnostic. For another, AFAICT they are supposed to be adventure outlines, so if you did have a specific game in mind, the monster CR (or equivalent) and DCs, etc, would be, in my mind, something that you determine in a later pass.In addition, I'm a GM who likes players to have as much control over the story as possible, so I don't like to decide "what happens" too much - but here, I don't have the word count to write too many If...Then... statements to cover all the things I can imagine happening. It'll take me some practice to learn how to get as much of that into my entries using as little words as possible. I'm not there yet.Hey, I should go easier on myself. I've only written two of these so far, after all.[/spoiler]</blockquote>
