• Goals: I want players to want more, ideally encourage them to start a campaign after finishing the one shot. If a group of randoms comes together, gets along, and has a great time, why shouldn't they keep going? I'd like to work on a one-shot that lays groundwork to be continued in campaign play :)

While the contest hasn't begun yet or selected a theme, I've created a design document to obsess over in the meantime. Here's the jist of it:

Theme: the game FTL but set in a single system of planets 

1. I'd like it to have these overarching design goals:
   • takes place within a single, dense system (already generated)
   • showcases the usefulness of narrative play in accomplishing many goals quickly
   • Revolves around players trying to secure faction-level goals
   • Provides a ready-for-campaigning setting by the one-shot's end
   I think the kind of team best suited for this one shot would:
   • contribute about 1-2 pages per teammate
   • add about 2 narrative encounters per teammate
   • be familiar with roguelikes or otherwise able to design similar encounter types
   • know how to write encounters that are easy for referees to staple together mid-session
