I can see these ideas running different paths. It seems fun. I might have a suggestion to if your up for it.
We could always make a certain number list of themes and roll random via chat and such. Forcing others to write different themed stories each time? And a separate list of a reference of the number of players we have in this city. Example: 1d20 and roll a 15, the theme of the story would be drama? For the number of players (optional) 1d6(or how many players we have in Sahova) and roll a 3 for fun. You would need to create a story with drama and invovlving 3 PC's?
That's just a suggestion, but I think writing themed stories with pictures and the like will be fun. Either way, it'll expand my writing into a deeper level of thought and creativity.
