HOW'S THE GAME?

Welcome to Cosmographia's first "How's the Game"! This is essentially an open forum for discussion about where to take the game from here and anything that might need changing. A lot has happened in the past week and going forward we feel it's more important than ever to have a discussion like this.

This is not a place for criticism of specific players or characters. This is purely about the game itself. Please save player specific criticisms for the upcoming How's My Driving. Any disregard for this or out of hand conduct will be frozen or deleted.

We are inviting not just all current players (old and new) to participate in this discussion but also past players that have left and new potential players considering the game; we encourage everyone to pitch in their two cents. That being said, since this is the game's first HTG we are currently going to do it without anon or sock journals (for future HTG this may change).

Like said this is a completely open forum. We have a list of topics we want to discuss (listed below), but after all those have gone up players are completely free to start their own threads with anything not covered by the other sections.

Current sections (please wait until all these are up and linked to post your own they're all up now!):

The World Outside Waverly Bay/Potential World Plot

the shared fever dream forest is one of my favorite things in all honesty

But yes, seconding this! I'd really like to see a bit more detail in the locations page. I wouldn't say that it needs to be a number one priority, since it would be a fair bit of work, but I remember cross-checking the settings list a lot when I was starting out and getting kind of frustrated by how vague it was in spots. So maybe if/when things settle down, this would be a good thing to prod at a bit.

Thisss. It's good that the game lets people add to the setting (apparently there's also a spa that's never mentioned anywhere, according to a thread below?) but additions like that need to be made easily accessible for players who aren't involved in or around for their creation.

I think the biiiiiggest reason most of that stuff was so vague is because originally the intent of the game was to be as open/handwavey as possible? but like... that causes its own set of problems. it just makes things too confusing in the end.

I definitely want to work on fixing that whole page up. I believe Elaine already got a headstart and started adding player locations.

I added them to the player location list, but I can add them to the setting list later. Also, I am in favor of the forest.
