Re: Chronicles - Inspired by Baalz, engineered by Lokean - Pre-game discussion
This concept sounds quite similar to a game I started back in the days of Dom2, call "Yarnspinners". In that game, writing your AAR was the main point and that was reflected in the rules of the game as follows:
1. Each turn, each player submitted a couple of paragraphs of narrative to an independant, non-playing gamemaster that scored the submision as follows:
- 0 points if nothing was submitted
- 1 point for overly terse (one-liner) or excessively verbose submissions
- 2 points for anything else
After a nominated number of turns (I think we chose 60) the game ends and nations are awarded further points for being the front-runner (10 points) or runner-up (5 points) in each of the score graphs except army size.
Nation with the most points is the winner. The idea was popular enough to spawn a second game (Yarnspinners2) although I wasn't involved with that, and I think they tweaked the rules a little.
Anyways, good luck with Chronicles!
