Telling Stories by Any Means Necessary. Archive Writing and Publishing. Posts relating to Editing, Workshops, and the Writing/Publishing Business. August 26, 2011. August 17, 2011. As part of my efforts to expand my storytelling expertise, I’ve been teaching myself some basic HTML5 animation techniques with a program called Tumult Hype. For now I’m using the simplest artwork possible so I can focus on the animation and storytelling techniques (so please excuse the stick people). August 8, 2011. When I fi...

Telling Stories by Any Means Necessary. May 12, 2009. Over the weekend I had the privilege to speak at the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators Western Canada conference. The conference was a huge success and I had a great time meeting with new writers and listening to the other speakers. Kudos to Ken Kilback for all his hard work in putting it […].

Baden Powell from Lynn Canyon to Grouse Mountain | Jared Hunt

http://jaredhunt.ca/2011/08/24/baden-powell-from-lynn-valley-to-grouse-mountain

Telling Stories by Any Means Necessary. Baden Powell from Lynn Valley to Grouse Mountain. August 24, 2011. On Sunday, Crystal, myself and a friend did our second significant hike of the season. It was a long day but we had a great time, got some exercise and spent some time out of the city (without actually being too far from the city). Intermediate difficulty, 5 hours total hike, and only 220 metres elevation gain all sounded like it fit the bill. Signpost at a trail intersection. Even with several shor...

Telling Stories by Any Means Necessary. Posts related to outdoor activities. Baden Powell from Deep Cove to Lynn Canyon. September 21, 2011. Looking back over the summer, it seems like some of the best days we had were actually in September. The day Crystal and I decided to hike the Baden Powell trail from Deep Cove to Lynn Canyon (Sunday, Sept. 11/11) was definitely one of them. The weather was perfect for hiking – nice and sunny […].

Telling Stories by Any Means Necessary. Review of the Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. March 4, 2011. October 3, 2010. I attended Robert McKee’s Story seminar quite a few years ago and wrote the following article based on my impressions a few days later. I stumbled across the article in my files recently after not reading it since first typing it out. It’s a little unrefined, but I still like the premise. Robert McKee may be the […].

Telling Stories by Any Means Necessary. Baden Powell from Deep Cove to Lynn Canyon. September 21, 2011. Looking back over the summer, it seems like some of the best days we had were actually in September. The day Crystal and I decided to hike the Baden Powell trail from Deep Cove to Lynn Canyon (Sunday, Sept. 11/11) was definitely one of them. The weather was perfect for hiking – nice and sunny but not quite as hot as some of our hikes in August. Portion and there is a similar amount of variety in terrain.

Telling Stories by Any Means Necessary. Another use for Diaspora Social Combat. October 22, 2011. At the end of our last session, the characters had allied with an emerging power in the cluster to attack an orbital base in an isolated system. (You can check out the adventure log here. If you’re interested). Their allies were technologically inferior, but they were hoping to make up for it in numbers and ferocity. In the past I had success using social combat to run a heist scenario. The players need to c...

Spellcraft Streamlined | Jared Hunt

http://jaredhunt.ca/2011/10/13/spellcraft-streamlined

Telling Stories by Any Means Necessary. October 13, 2011. What I came up with was a game that can be played with a deck of standard playing cards and a small set of poker chips (or beads or other counters). I’ve playtested a few dozen times with three different groups and I’m pretty happy with the current rules. It’s simple to learn, the mechanics will be familiar to anyone who has ever played cards before, and there is surprising depth of strategy once you get the basics down. Running a Diaspora Heist.
