I know it helped me improve my writing greatly - I was not surprised to find out that a few successful authors came from this group of players (I hope to join their ranks). Here is a nice article about it: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/24/books/jim-butcher-one-of-the-authors-from-ambermush.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0<br /><br />What would be cool, is a real-time collaborative writing experience, a shared world, where the frame work of the story, driven by the author who creates the roles and the 'scenes' allows people to take on those characters and interact with the protagonist - minor or major characters - as virtual actors so to speak. Send me an email if you are curious, I'll post a 'log' session of what I'm talking about from a game session I played. <br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Joel Lovell<br />joel.lovell@gmail.comJoel Lovellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11327523450299427936noreply@blogger.com
