Table to Book Adaptation

Writing is a passion for me, but I share it with only a select few. I have written a novel based on a one-on-one campaign before, and found it enjoyable. Of course, it was only the two of us, so it was easy to collaborate on the details. Now the cat’s out of the bag, I’ll be working on a novel to capture The Gods’ Challenge.

I participate in a writing challenge every November, but it is not easy to write an entire book in a short amount of time. If you are excited to see this in a novel format, be patient as it will take me a couple of years at least. The next novel is generally easier than the last, but I am usually putting to words a story from my own imagination. The Gods’ Challenge would need to be a larger collaboration.

The hardest part is getting the players’ characters just right. Like all players, they are not portrayed in the game exactly how the characters are seen in their imaginations. Sometimes the ideas, personalities, and flaws get lost in translation. This is why I would take the time to work with each player when writing about their character.

After getting it all together, then we begin the editing process. This can take a year on its own. I imagine we will be long into the next campaign before any novel is completed and available in any way. For my fellow closet writers, you get this. For all others, I am asking you to have a lot of patience.
