In a few days, it will be two years since this quest started. Can you believe it? Though I have no special celebrations planned, I have been thinking about how to rekindle my own enthusiasm for this quest, which got a little bogged down in the minutiae of org management, largely at the expense of the galactic-scale worldbuilding I was trying to get across. It is therefore all too likely that I'll be reworking the quest's mechanics in some fashion once the God-Builders' results post is done. So far, I've been pondering a more episodic narrative structure along the lines of some alternate history quests, where each turn is a mix of crises to tackle and projects to pursue. This would effectively weave the mechanics of the AFFECt turns into a grand narrative, with each 'Season' consisting of individual Acts where tension rises and then is resolved. I'm still experimenting with the specifics, and don't worry, my precious FRACaS system isn't going anywhere. You'll just have more problems to apply it to. The actual start of this new mode is still a whiles off, but maybe it's something to look forward to. The commonwealth is not dead yet!
