Title: A method of background summary
Post by: Dracos on September 18, 2006, 12:28:20 PM
A problem that attests any long running game on two fronts is that it is a massive exercise to enter.  With COR it used to be reading the entire chunk as an exercise of showing you would be willing to put in the effort, but that doesn't really encourage reading.  It also doesn't provide a quick reason to start reading.  When the only thing facing you is stacks of forum topics or game logs, it really requsites a pre-existing interest.

Obviously, a good answer to this is chapter summaries: Short 1 pagish summaries that really help bait people into reading it, getting into it and whatnot.

That's an obvious and simple comment.  What's more worthwhile is: What should go in one?  What advice and thoughts can we give that would help folks put stuff like that together?
