Project Update: Settle a bet for us + tomorrow's open beta launch livestream

Thanks so much to everyone who tuned in for our Creator Convo + Q&A livestream last week! We had so much fun answering your questions and sharing some of our behind-the-scenes highlights, including:
  • Me finding the hand-written index card prototype of the original Story Engine Deck
  • The secret project we put away to focus on Lore Master's Deck
  • The process we use to decide which cues go on which cards, and how it's different for Lore Master's Deck than for any deck we've created so far
  • The 2 words we spent the longest time arguing over during the editorial process (more on this in a moment)!
  • And so much more!

Watch the replay if you'd like to get caught up!

Tomorrow at 3pm we're hosting the Lore Master's Deck RELOADED Open Beta Launch livestream, during which we'll be distributing the beta files live and then creating prompts with our copy of the deck. As we were reviewing the replay of the last livestream, we realized we need you to settle a bet for us!




At one point, we recalled the 2 hour friendly debate I had with our community manager/contributing writer Eric Weiss about whether "archive" or "museum" was a better primary cue to include in the Location cards and solicited some votes in the chat.

Eric was leading Team Archive, arguing that it was a broader term that could be interpreted in wider variety of contexts and offer more creative options.

I was leading Team Museum, arguing that museums as public spaces offer more opportunities to tell stories involving a wider range of characters.

The chat weighed in, too, and we agreed to reveal the decision we came to on the beta launch livestream tomorrow! We're hoping you'll weigh in through the community poll attached to this update!

We also hope you'll join us tomorrow and share the excitement of opening your PDFs live on the air and creating some lore prompts with us! Click "Notify Me" on the YouTube event page to make sure you don't miss it.
