Our story so far...

As a moderator for KTDARPG, one of the tasks I volunteered for was taking all of the posts in each season & putting them into a summary story-form. We figured that would make the game-story easier to read when people needed to check back in history. A story-form would also make it easy for new players & readers to catch up with the current action of the game.

I had no clue what I was getting myself into.

You can't just string posts together for the text-story. If you did? You'd have a story thousands of pages long & WAY too much for anybody to read! The idea is to summarize, to hit all the high points, to give a reader the gist of what's happened. This kind of digest can't do justice to the rich tapestry of the story we've created in the game, but it gives you a thread to follow to keep up with past actions.

I'm glad my fellow players trust me because there are a lot of judgment calls to be made in digesting our threads & plots. What bits to include, what to leave out, what's important for the future & what really isn't. Like I said, this isn't easily done.

But I have to admit, I've enjoyed the work as I've had time for it. Season One is complete in story form. Season Two isn't far from being done. The Season Three phase of our game is well under way & about to take us to the 5,000-post mark. That's a lot of words, guys!
