Izza Poll!

...Because that's what weblog authors do when they're short on content and desperate for feedback!

So, I played Death's Door with Ben Lehman and Jake Richmond at Gamestorm, and it went really, really well. It wasn't "awesome" because one of our Boundaries was "Do not Bring The Awesome" - short hand for keep it real; no action-adventure bullshit. But if not for that caveat, you could describe it as awesome.

In post game chat, we talked about the little scraps of paper that people use to scribble what they want to do before they die, and what happens to them. Right now, they are all saved. Yes, all of them. Could you throw out someone else's dream?

Which means that, on the corner of my desk, I have a ever-growing pile of other people's hopes and dreams - and let me tell you, that is a seriously motivating thing to be responsible for.

But it's a touch selfish to hold that too close, I think. Ben suggested I should do something with them, and I agreed, but ran into the same thing I keep running into when I think about it: What?

So, a poll.

A) Keep them selfishly to myself.
B) Make a new weekly blog catagory "Hopes and Dreams" and post a few every week.
C) Make a new weekly blog catagory "Hopes and Dreams" and post one each week, with some discussion.
D) Load them into some kind of funky java applet and have a spot on the website that has "Somebody out there wants to..." and fade/cycle them through that.
E) Make some kind of craft art or scrapbooky thing.
F) Something else.

Reply in comments with your thoughts, if you agree with any, or have variations, or other ideas. I trust you, internet.

I like the whole post a few every week or so. Just cause. Comments will come regardless of whether you want them to or not so just post a few and see how it goes.:)

Post a few every week.
Discussion may or may not happen, but I wouldn't want to feel obligated to comment.

I kinda like the idea of a Java page where they cycle. That's my 2 cents.
