After another week of scenario writing, I have 5,100 words
written. I hope to have about 6,000
words total. That’s 1,000 more than “A Man of His Word”. Much of that increase
in length is due to the amount of detail I believe needed for PC’s performing a
heist in high society.
The scenario is designed to be run over two sessions, and
has a pretty obvious two act structure. Besides continuing to write, I also did
quite a bit of fact checking and rewriting on the first part as problems arose
in the second half. Now that so many problems dissolved, I feel better about
the adventure’s tone and structure than I did last week. The farcical, low
stakes nature of the adventure worried me, but building the big set piece
satisfied my desire for action and excitement. I’ve now written most of the
scenario, with just the climax and resolution left to do. After that, the next
step is editing and readability, then my proofreaders can tear into it.
I should be able to finish my first draft this week, which
means we can get back to our usual blogging soon.
