Does your game sound like a book?

Sometimes the AARs make me think that someone should make a big effort to publish one. Use a Print-on-Demand site. Just doing it as a story would be equal to alot of cheap books I buy.

Or do it as a tutorial. With the left side pages being the story, and the right side pages being the actual game actions. Or do the text in bold vs italics. That way "I informed my mages that we needed to support our troops with some large monsters" on one would become "I switched my research over to Conjuration" on the other, and "Then I told them that we need IMMEADIATE flanking cavalry" would also be put as "I had my death mages cast "Pale Riders".

There are sites that will let you upload the story and then they will make it available for purchase online, and you dont have to pay anything. So it might not sell a bunch, but who cares?

I'm starting my first MP game as Pangaea - nation that I never played and very unfit to my playing style. I am going to give it a try and plan to write an AAR. Going to use LaTeX - doing mathematics, I have a pretty good experience with it - pdf it and post it in this forum. I plan to make it a mix of story / tutorial, explaining my strategic decisions, the diplomatic thinking, and pepper the whole with (humourless) jokes and friendly banter. English is not my native language, so do not expect a highly crafted lit prose. But - also because of my work - I probably read/write more English than Portuguese. And hey, I absolutely adore Joyce's "Finnegans Wake".

The best AAR I have read until now, is one in the dom2 forum, in pdf. Someone, whose name I forgot, playing Ulm in dom1. I will draw lots of inspiration from that one.

Best regards,
