Treasure Tables is on hiatus as of December 13th, 2007 -- after two years of daily posts, I needed a break. If you're looking for GMing material, I have two recommendations: the hundreds of posts in TT's archives, and my new project, the multi-author GMing blog Gnome Stew. Happy GMing! -- Martin

From Situation to Resolution

Fri. January 6, 2006 

John Harper (who writes The Mighty Atom), breaks down some big gaming meta-concepts into one handy diagram in Situation, Scene, Conflict, Resolution.

It’s eminently accessible — you could show the diagram to a non-gamer, and they would “get it.” (Don’t miss the excellent follow-up post, either.)

    Excellent posts, although I feel that he’s missing one diagram. I need to mull this a little more.

    I’d be interested in hearing what you think he’s missing, Shiffer, once you’ve had a chance to mull it over. :)
