[Session 2] Recapping and Dialing in on What the Story is about: a Sci-Fi story of Colene

 Recapping post from a year ago in itallics. Generating new information to add on to the story a bit.

Story Seed

A new story will involve a character set in a nervous mood seekingsomething needed or very much desired in the future outdoor location against afast-moving myriapoda (centipede or millipede like).

Using Grammar Fuel Science Fiction Genre & Subgenres book. Random d100 = 53 Science, random d100 = 20 Noun, random d100 = Astrobiology

Astrobiology studies life in the universe.

Is the story about studying the myriaoda? flip coin, tails, no.

Is the story about eliminating myriaoda? flip coin, heads, yes.

Main Character

Colene is more of a practical problem solver, intuitive, yet skilled instealth and persuasion—not really charming. She is more manipulativethrough logic, wisdom, intelligence, and intuition—rather than byappearance and charm—maybe using psychic or cybernetic manipulation. Shecan move quietly and is resilient.

The meaning of the name Colene is "girl". The name has both a natural strength, mesmerizing, and enchanting quality.

Setting Up the Story

A=assigned, R=rolled, T=triggered, L=logic

Gamestory Synopsis

• Genre: Future Sci-Fi (A)
• Setting: Outdoor (A) (flash RPG)
• Conflict: seek (R) (plot generator) (plot generator found in Story Mechanisms, Flash RPG found in Story Mechanisms, Essential SoRoPlay GamTools)
• Foe: myriapoda (R) (foe generator found in Story Mechanisms, Flash RPG found in Story Mechanisms, Essential SoRoPlay GamTools)
• Sensory: movement sense: speed, gravity, coordination (R) (fact generator 1e found in Character Mechanisms, 2e, Essential SoRoPlay GamTools)
• Motivation: deceive (R) (motivation generator, found in Story or Character Mechanisms, Essential SoRoPlay GamTools)
• Mood: nervous (R)(mood-emotion generator found in Story or Character Mechanisms, Essential SoRoPlay GamTools)
• Theme: will vs need (either one or the other, or both) (R) (theme generator)

The tools in bold indicate which tools I used and from where.

So, I used the three RPG PDFs of Story Mechanisms (which contains most of the tools), Fact Generator 2e, and Theme Generator 2e. The Story Mechanisms does also include the Theme Generator 1e, but I want to use 2e for now on.

Keywords generated: Future Sci-Fi; outdoor; seek; against myriopoda; movement sense; motive deceive; nervous mood; will vs. need.

My adventure seed interpretation of the keywords:

A new story will involve a character set in a nervous mood seeking something needed or very much desired in the future outdoor against a fast moving myriapoda (centipede or millipede like).

The story motivation is to deceive the foe while seeking the needed whatever.

Most of the Genre & Subgenre series is complete

For the past 1 1/2 years, the zines have focused on several genres and subgenres in gaming and fiction. Most of the obvious subgenres have a focused issue. A few scattered subgenres remain; however, they are mostly minor subgenres.

The issues may change the focus for the next little while.
