[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 8232082, member: 6785785"] So, not to bring our game too much into the thread here, but one thing that did occur to me is that the idea that our Cohorts Hans and Piotr will need medical attention, and I mentioned we may need to retain the services of a doctor to deal with my sore jaw from our first score.....I think I'll propose an idea connecting the two things (Hans and Piotr's Harm and my character's Harm) and maybe introduce the Long Term Project to gain the steady use of a doctor. I have some ideas on who this doctor may be and how I know him. So your notes, provided to me, have given me some ideas to connect two things in the fiction through my character. And then when I share those with you, that will likely prompt more ideas on your end, giving us other potential vectors for the fiction. One of the advantages of the player facing nature of these details. That's great.....I think that Microscope lends itself to worldbuilding, and I really want to use it to build a setting that our group then uses for play with another game. I think this seems like a natural use for Microscope (I think it may even be suggested in the book itself). Haven't had the chance to do so yet, but I really want to do that. It may, but it may not.....it may just be that it's not your default approach and so it may take adjusting. It's certainly possible that it may never click with you, but I would imagine that, through use and exposure, you'd probably become comfortable with it, if not outright enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
