Legacy Profile (Past-2024): Chekhovian Foundation
Name: Pseudonym の Homonym

Chekhov’s gun

A dramatic principle that states that every element in a story must be necessary, irrelevant elements should be removed; elements should not appear to make false promises.

Writing style:

• I draw more inspiration from movies and tv screenwriting and games rather than novels or books making my writing feel a little rushed with less time spent in development as a book would. Mostly weekend active player/writer. Weekdays active reader.

• I tend to have a focus on story structure breaking moves, plot-heavy writing elements with exposition and worldbuilding acting as a second narrator, rather than as an individual character focused on relationship building.

“Season 2”

(2024-Presents): Chekhovian Games

[Ludic Fallacy]
The inability of games to depict reality accurately mirrors the lie writers believe: that they can create pure fiction.

There’s ounces of reality in everything even in the means to conceal it, in the motives to present them as unrelated non-sequiturs, for only in complete isolation, lies where the truth remains, a locked room with no opportunity but to affirm itself. Perhaps, the final problem is the first solution. So open the truths of your world, but know that a lie is a promise, someone else has to keep.

Season 1 saw experimenting writing styles concluding with the a style of:

• un Consequential Writing with hints of..
• deux Meta-Narration and..
• trois throwing the Detective Mystery Thriller Genre even when the premise and players aren’t prepared..
• quatre The assumption of infinite time to plan..
• cinq to the detriment/investment of other writers to which I apologize..

Be.. the change you want to see in the world.

Embrace and learn the good from everything and everyone for without mistakes, consequences would not exist and thus mysteries cannot be solved. Watch your six, as I make the greatest mistakes in my writhing career.

Season 2 will focus on the Gaming element of Storium with..

• un Consequential Hosts with Custom Rules (Mechanics) and Sub-Challenge Systems
• deux Balancing with [Ludonarrative Dissonance] among player writing styles
• trois throwing in Game Design Concepts
• quatre Time-based Storium mechanics for..
• cinq The Game is your A-Game, the first step is afoot.
