It Flew By in a Flash

That is not a bad sign. Better to be interested in drawing bold new lines freely than in building fences and sealing old borders.

Since it is going well, let us draw ourselves a city before the next meeting. A whole City: a comic (and the game built around it) is a good medium for such far-out, spur-of-the-moment ideas. Everyone lives somewhere, knows the nearest corner, courtyard, corridor and hallway, and knows something about their dream of the most distant galaxies. Corner, courtyard, corridor and frame are concepts that can be translated into one another across space. For now, let us not worry about the galaxy. Let us simply try to begin with what is close and familiar. Goodness, it may be very strange at first—we know little about ourselves. And if it ‘works’, if it proves interesting, we shall simply scale the frames up to the size of a façade, courtyard or city block. Any good game master can do that.
