Title: Form Factor for Hacks?
Post by: Shreyas on July 08, 2010, 08:05:21 AM

I like the playbook-from-a-single-sheet implementation V uses, 'cause it's sexy and portable and entertaining, but I wonder about its use for hacks. It presents an additional assembly problem for the end-user. (I say this as someone who's made more than enough playbooks to know.)

What do you think? What have you guys done about your form factor?

Not there yet.

Unsure. Like the whole here is one sheet of parper, walktrhough and at the end you have  acharacter you can play, thing going. I want that, but then on the other hand, like you say, there is the amount of work implied in it.

My thoughts right now are to leave this to a real late stage in the hack development.

Making playbooks annoys me. It was cool at first then it became a chore.

I won't be using that format for my hacks. I don't know why anyone would, unless "little folded booklets" somehow support your game's vision.
