I'm pulling on my driveway.

We all know what that means.

It's time another drive to work.

Okay, so today is a suggestion from my blog.

Someone wanted to have me talk about the challenges of telling a story through a trading card game.

I thought that was an excellent.

In fact, I gave a speech on this

and wrote an article about it. So I have a lot to say on the topic. Okay, so what are the challenges?

So first, let me talk about the problems of trying to tell a game through a trading card game.

Sorry, the problem of trying to tell a story through a trading card game. So problem number one, that it has to be told through the medium of a trading card game.

That one of the things that's challenging is, you know, most storytelling, you have control of the audience,

that you, you know, like,

usually when I tell you a story, the main focus of the story is the story.

If you're seeing a movie or watching a television show or reading a book, the primary focus

of what's going on is the story.

That's not true in a trading card game. The primary person in a trading card game is the game.

And so, and it is, you know, the medium by which you have to tell

is you have to sort of chop up your story into lots of pieces

and mix it up and sell it through

packs. And that is a bit challenging. That is definitely something that is a little harder to do.

That, you know, for example, there's not a lot of space to tell a story. There's not a lot of

tools to tell a story. You know, a lot of tools to tell a story.
