Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I've thought about trying to write short stories in the past. The furthest I've ever made it is the outline though, I always struggle with the details to fill it all out. I may revisit using this technique. Thank you again.

Very interesting, thank you. I've never heard of anything like this before.

I'm curious about how you use tabletop rpg rules to help you with your writing. Would you mind providing an example?

Some friends and I just picked up Factorio. It's been a lot of fun so far. Check out Dyson Sphere Project if you like Factorio
