#WritingWithDice: Reframing the act of solo roleplaying

This is an implementation of something I've been musing and working on for a long while. It's built to provide a structure around writing fiction during those parts of a game when you are not engaging with creative aids (oracles, idea generators, etc).

I'm looking for playtesters, so I'm putting this out there as an open source thing. The google doc to the text is at this #WritingWithDice link.

If you have a chance to give it a test drive, let me know how you like it. If you happen to have G+ or Twitter, I'd like to request that you use the tag #WritingWithDice  in your post, if you don't mind. :-)  Just makes it easier for me to search feedback.

What if the slots on the Mythic GME Thread List were a limited resource?

Meaning, what if you had a set limit on the number of Threads you could add to the list? How might this affect your solo gaming using Mythic? 

Other variations on the thought: What if the limit was only on the number of unsolved threads? What if it was an absolute limit per adventure? 

I've started a thread (ha ha?) at https://plus.google.com/108395059461267285712/posts/Fdp29mGgQJs

Not sure if it'll spark discussion, but the thought made me wonder. I've yet to try it, but I suppose a side effect could be a more focused adventure, given the number of slots was small enough...maybe.
