Starting Point

    Welcome Back, and Happy New Year.

    Everything must start at some point, and Players' decisions always matters.

    My Players want a Hit-and-Run Space series of Adventures.

    I want Adventure, Drama, Personal Horror, in a Memory-God-Illumination mood, and a long Sci-Fantasy series of Speculative Fiction, so we all need to agree with that.

    Remember that I write down only Inside Game during Adveture (label) Posts, and everything else is Offgame.

    I'll try to think on some very interesting Offgame Posts, to add feeling to the Story. But, well, I like the Blog not to be a Hard Sci-Fi adventure Blog. So, I added Magic, Planes, psy, and other stuff that make part of my original Settings (planned for Action Tale).

    And I have my own Rulebook for Action Tale, planned during 19 years, well-developed to this kind of Series of Adventures.

    This is the first step, and your Players must agree with the system you decide to use.

    How do I start an Adventure Blog?

    Chosing your Crew and Casting, selection of Settings, agreeing with the System you'll use, remembering Suspension of Disbelief, and starting to Plot.

    Of course, add to this the Idea for every Chapter planned for an Event-based Storyline.

    Style

    I prefere Resume, but you can chose the Style you want.

    You must define clearly the rules you use to write your Story, or Readers will get lost.

    My Offgame Posts are marked differently, but every Adventure Resumes are marked to make clear they're the Adventure.

    Well, I also post here about my Conlangs, Akkia, Trade, Oka, Draka, etc.

    These Posts are marked (with Labels) specially not to be confused with the Adventure.

    Learn well to use Labels (Tags).

    So, someone that clicks the "adventure" Label will see only Adventure Posts, and apply other Labels to specific matters.

    Start Conloging

    Conloging comes from "Constructed Log", a Label for Adventure Blog Theory.

    Argument

    You don't need to come up with all the original ideas of the world, but remember everyone will notice when you use some other Author's ideas. Use that in Honour to that Author, but if you plan publishing, then you'll need original material.

    I always plan to put some of my most admired Authors' ideas, but I always change it to a new form, a new way to use that Ideas.

    You'll notice I planned this influences to be mixed with my own original ideas.

    That's your Argument.

    The Argument is spread out into your Fiction description, as well as in the form of the Style you chose to write.

    If you chose something well known, then it's easy.

    If you chose to write a New Universe, as I have chosen here, you'll need some exposition, and well-planned Offgame Posts.

    Don't waste your Secrets.

    When you explain everything, the Magic is gone.

    So, That's it.

    You can start Conloging now.

    Good luck,...
...and Stay Plugged.
