A lot of people understand Fanfiction, but not many make the leap to "game directed" fanfiction, which is basically what this is. For the reader the experience is much the same, I'd say maybe marginally better because you can more easily have fan involvement but that's purely optional, but as a writer, for me personally, "game directed" is way more easy, even if sometimes the game is only very, very minimally involved in the process.
Well, Game 5 at least had plenty of runs. I suppose that's all that can be asked, and it wasn't a sweep as well. Good showing!
Sorry for missing the action on the day of, I bought The Show for the Switch (Blasphamy on multiple levels, I know) and I've been using my free time on that.

I would not call playing The Show as blasphemy. I enjoy the game, though it has been several iterations since I last played it.
I know my universe is not as game-directed as some people, but I think that is something about dynasty writing that makes it much different: the planning is thinking about what can be covered, but the game dictates that direction. There are some dynasty reports that could lend themselves to being fully controlled, especially if someone was chronicling a playthrough of a game like Fallout. Depending on the game engine for OOTP, though, means that the writer must definitely be reactionary.
