The Step Back and Away

After a disastrous playtest last night, I have been persuaded to walk away from the game I was designing for a while.  I've expunged all the files from my work computers and put them all on a disk, which, with my notebooks and papers, I will be giving up to the care of the one who persuaded me.

I hope this means I am walking away from design, because on many levels, I know I have been going about the whole thing the wrong way - I've been designing something that only I want to play and only I can GM.  That's pointless.  And annoying to everyone else.  And a problem I don't know how to solve.

So maybe, just maybe, I will actually start, you know, writing again?  That might be a nice change of pace.

Those who are hoping that the Autumn War someday becomes a game they can play (both of you) - I haven't walked away forever.  Just a while.

But that is the end of the day.  I still have some day left.
