Tim Dedopulos, a writer and an old friend of mine* is preparing to run the 2nd iteration of his interactive story, The Great Game. Instead of paraphrasing his words and description, I'll just quote his post here, and give you the link - read it and click if you feel interested.

( *Well, in the real world I'd say Tim is a 'friendly acquaintance' of mine, as we don't know each other too well, but, hey, in the merry universe of the Internet, where everyone's your friend, I'm not afraid to call Tim an old friend at all. I hope he doesn't mind that. )

So, here comes the quote:

By popular demand, ‘The Great Game’ is being rebooted, with fresh characters and an all-new story.

For those of you who aren’t sure what I’m on about, ‘The Great Game’ could be described as interactive fiction, or collaborative story-telling, or as being a bit like those old “Choose Your Own Adventure” books, except with your very own pet writer scuttling off to write up the results of whatever option you pick after each section.

‘The Great Game’ will remain entirely free of charges or paid advertising, come what may.

The Great Game’s last incarnation was set in a disturbing hotel that lay outside of reality, and was used as a dumping-ground for people — in a loose sense — who had caused problems with the structure of the multiverse. To prevent unfortunate incidents with causality, violators were dropped there, given bed and board, and left to get on with whatever they wanted to get on with. Just so long as it didn’t damage reality any further, of course. In general, I’d have characterised the story as urban fantasy, with elements of cosmic horror. Not in a Dresden Files goes up against Cthulhu way, though.

Well, that's all for today.
