A couple things I did at Origins:

– used poker chips to keep track of Momentum. Worked great!

– booked the show with some kind of everyone-will-be-involved event (Regal Wrangle, or multi-match elimination tournament) and had everyone deliver a “pre-taped” promo before we started the show, to get into character and create a table vibe. I really like this technique, especially for Con games.

– before the Main Event, framed a backstage scene with no cameras rolling, so the players could interact “out of character”. this was simple but surprisingly effective in adding that real dimension so the characters, even in single session game

– I only thought to do this for the last game, but at the end of the game I went around and did a “next time on” a la PTA. I asked “so, what do you see your character getting up to on the next episode?”. This was a really nice way to wrap up the session and help create the feeling that these characters were going to go with their storylines.

These are all notes to self for inclusion in the book!

I had some insights from my Origins games that I’m stoked to implement.

It’s nice to have so much of the game working, and just be working on the subtle stuff.

I’ve been working on some shirt designs for WWWRPG characters I have known.

I’ve been working on some shirt designs for WWWRPG characters I have known. It’s fun! I want to put them up for purchase. It looks like most reputable/quality shirt printing places discount on volume, which puts printing a single shirt at a time at a higher price point than I’d envisioned.

So, the choice I’m looking at is this:

1. Make shirts available on-demand, with a price point of ~ $25 each.

2. Order 10 shirts at a time per design, which drops the price point to ~15 each, but I really don’t know if I want to sit on overstock fake wrestler shirts.

$25 seems like a lot for a shirt to me. I dunno, should I take preorders? Or just wait until the Kickstarter and roll shirts into the campaign?
