On Aggravating, Tangible Proximity to Success
Well, as ya'll are probably aware, I've been writing my rpg.
I have been doing this, for the past month, using LaTeX, which I have come to believe is one of the better computer programs to be created by humans. Certainly it produces professional-quality documents better and more easily than any word processor that you have to pay for.
But to give you an impression of how horribly, tantalizingly close to being done with this game I am, I have on my computer a typeset pdf that's 88 pages long. And I'm probably going to wind up adding somewhere in the region of 6-12 pages tomorrow. With any amount of luck, I'll be done by Friday.
This game will be, in the end, more than four times longer than any other individual game I've ever written.
Oh, and I'm about two hundred pages and sixty footnotes into David Foster Wallace's Tome, and I'm feeling smugly superior to people who aren't reading it.
