Part of the reason for this blog apart from being a place to actually play is to allow the play-style itself to evolve and change over time. This process is by natural progression as the game unfolds rather than actively looking for ways to change the way I'm playing.
Ever since I saw the post on alt.games.ftp.tekumel that Steve Lopez wrote, I have been wondering if a more simple layout for each session might be more fun. The method I'm using to lay out each session at the moment has worked well so far, and I see no reason why it wouldn't continue to be ok going forward too. But sometimes I think it would be nice to just write each session more simply, rather like I'm writing this right now. No bullet points, no special formatting, just write it all out in a stream of prose breaking it up with nothing more than normal paragraphs.
This is just another thought and I may reject it once I've tried it, but I would like to try it and see if I'm happier with it. I think I'll be happier playing it out using that simpler method, but it remains to be seen if I can tolerate the end result. It does have to be somewhat presentable too otherwise there's no point.
And as I write this it occurs to me that I sort of did this already in Session 003.5 - Problems, Problems It didn't really contain full options and arguments as a usual session would, but it is similar to what I'm thinking about here.
I'll try it with the next session and see what I think.
