[QUOTE="ThoughtBubble, post: 2749743, member: 9723"] Game themes is one of the ones I'd add to the list. In a superhero game, for example, you could have a "Things just keep going wrong, and being a hero has costs" game (spider man), or a "No one likes you because you're different" game (X-men), or a "People look up to you for guidance" game (superman). Each one, despite being the same genre feels very different. My current superhero game has "The world loves those who love it" (acting like a hero gets rewards) and "We're stronger as a team". Those two helped hammer in what's going to be important to the game, but also helps the players fit in with how the world works in a larger scale. Another I'd add is a brief discussion of what all is going to be occupying game time. Is it mostly dungeon crawls? Is there a lot of mystery and socialization? Desert survival? Do you have contacts or allies? D&D is sorta problematic in that it does have a wider range of games that are run in it than say, CoC. Hammering those out helps a bunch. [/QUOTE]
