A New Direction

 I've decided to start this thing up again and take things in a new direction, hopefully one where I am posting regularly and where I can get feedback from people as we create a story together.

Every since I created Chaotica back in 2008 I've enjoyed the experiences it's brought with creating stories together with people. I dabbled with D&D in recent years, but found that it just didn't deliver the same experience as my own creation. Discovering new worlds together with people, watching them explore, and watching the story unfold has been very satisfying for me and I'd like to bring the experience to more people.

One of the things I've always wanted to is find a group of people who have created characters for a game or story with their own extensive background- friends, rivals, families, hometowns, goals... all the seeds needed for a story. I know these people are out there, and are hungry for their characters to come to life. 

I would love to take three or four of these characters and build a world around them, bringing their stories together and sitting down with them to create a new epic with them, using my Chaotica system to bring it all to life. 

So I've decided to start telling more stories here. Not in Under Falling Skies, or for my novel, which is still on Amazon by the way, with a better title: After Death and Taxes. But here I'm going to start telling new stories built by my Chaotica engine. 

These are not AI stories, I'm writing them after all, but they will be strongly influenced by the rain of random numbers fueling my Chaotica Spreadsheet. Hopefully I'll have something soon. Feedback and requests, comments on my posts, are always welcome and will be taken into account for the story, hopefully stories, I plan to build here.
