War in the Heavens, early days, help needed

Ron Edwards:
Hi Jake,

The best advice I can give you about that is to play the game with some other people, and pay strict attention to what you tell them, in what order, from the very start of organizing the game as well as when you sit down at the table. Then basically transcribe that, exactly that, onto the page, to create your outline for your text.

However, I should also stress that there is a difference between simply writing your rules down as you design and playtest them, and writing a text which is intended to serve as a product for someone else to use. Far too often, people designing RPGs are working on the latter long before they should. It's possible that your reader was thinking in terms of such a document. If so, then I'd ignore the comment and continue to work on the design draft which is your personal playtesting tool, and save writing a text for others to read for later, when it makes sense to work on that.

Best, Ron
