Often in novels by aspiriing writers, it tends to be all about building up the main story while characters don't do very much (scene setting, backstory, etc). Starting with an immediate problem, not necessarily huge or related to the main storyline, would be a much better way to pull the reader in, I think.mooderinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523337588830695638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061937348591302555.post-32228961874918249682012-04-25T14:15:01.045+01:002012-04-25T14:15:01.045+01:00It seems to me that the type of game most similar ...It seems to me that the type of game most similar to books is the RPG. Many, many young people get seriously invested in all kinds of RPGs which often require a high level of meticulous attention and dedication. They are usually not linear, side quests being important and a need to explore being a common feature. More often than not, it seems, the player character starts out clueless of the big problems of the game and has to discover them before setting out on his mission. <br /><br />The most popular MMORPG of today, World of Warcraft, launched with no overarching story at all, but was filled with many smaller stories in many areas. <br /><br />Table top RPGs are structured so that someone is guiding the characters along in the story and the characters never really have control of what is happening. Exploration, making the proper choices and managing to react correctly to situations are important. <br /><br />Just a few thoughts.Sarah McCabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985261436020635823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061937348591302555.post-149509353781711662012-04-25T13:32:26.910+01:002012-04-25T13:32:26.910+01:00Interesting perspective!
