Mark's Musings: 03-31-2007 — The Writing of the CPC

In this installment of Mark's Musings, I wanted to talk a bit about my own creative process as I write the sets for the CPC federation of Filsinger Games' Champions of the Galaxy, with specific instances drawn from the most recent installment, Cataclysm 2121.  While I may not be quite at the level of a Dark Menace of the Universe as far as creativity goes (I'm far too much of a planner for that), I hope this will answer some questions that game fans have had in the past about what thoughts go through my head as I tell the stories of these characters.  I know that my approach is different in many ways from Tom's, so if you're interested, this will shed some light on how I go about it.  (Now you can stop asking me questions about it at GalactiCon!)

Running time: 29 minutes.
