|
||||||
|
- truth / dare / lie
|
||||||
|
- sex / kink
|
||||||
|
- random selections
|
||||||
|
- which game to play
|
||||||
|
- anything 'low risk'
|
||||||
|
- dinner
|
||||||
|
- movie
|
||||||
|
- clothes
|
||||||
|
- activity
|
||||||
|
- timer interval
|
||||||
|
- list and number options
|
||||||
|
- roll dice / flip coin
|
||||||
|
- select mapped choice
|
||||||
|
- see arbitrary selection mechanic
|
||||||
|
- try to keep list trim and focused
|
||||||
|
- need play tests to figure out if there is any kind of 'reasonable' upper bound
|
||||||
|
- run multiple times if layered
|
||||||
|
- dinner
|
||||||
|
- takeout
|
||||||
|
- cook
|
||||||
|
- fancy sit down place
|
||||||
|
- run again for follow on if desired
|
||||||
|
- what to get for takeout
|
||||||
|
- what to cook for dinner
|
||||||
|
- can stack multiple times but keep it from creeping
|
||||||
|
- need play testing to find 'too many layers' point
|
||||||
|
- this whole paradigm can easily defer most, if not all of life to dice rolling
|
||||||
|
- do not give your life over to dice
|
||||||
|
- keep list of options if using regularly for meal plans or similar
|
||||||
|
- can help add variety if dealing with outside constraints that limit options like what food you can eat or which take out stores are safe food for those with allergies
|
||||||
|
- food as 'expanded' game example
|
||||||
|
- ethos of adding variety to a constrained set of options
|
||||||
|
- how can ed/stomach/intestine folk leverage this ; use expanded form as example here
|
||||||
|
- 'mindfulness, the game' uses this rubrick and was the catalyst for developing this game
|
||||||
|
- commercial offerings for 'date night' and similar can give ideas
|
||||||
|
- disability: if you can spare the brainpower: developing lists of regular, constrained choices you encounter in daily life can be used with this game to add variety and a sense of non episodic engagement
|
||||||
|
- above needs rewrite
|
||||||
|
- the game can scale to any dice or coin flip series so meal prep, meal plan, ingredient selection for 'random dinner' are good candidates for list development
|
||||||
|
- youre really running a flow chart and rolling a die or flipping a coin to pick which path to follow at each node/level of the graph/tree
|
||||||
|
- 'i just dont want to pick' ; this game is a direct response to such moods and thoughts
|
||||||
|
- 'it doesnt really matter, just pick' is also a good candidate for this game
|
||||||
|
- food can be a major trigger
|
||||||
|
- find alternative as focus of game documents
|
||||||
|
- keep food as dedicated area
|
||||||
|
- dont remove, redirect primary focus and keep info
|
||||||
|
- template lists -- figure this out eventually
|
||||||
|
- include optional mechanic for free roll and 'you choose' (see mindfulness for verbiage to use)
|
||||||
|
- can help with dice that have more sides than options
|
||||||
|
- show d3 and d8 ways to pull this off
|
||||||
|
- show how to run this with coin flips
|
||||||
|
- 3 forms like mindfulness game
|
||||||
|
- pandoc + make like mindfulness
|
||||||
|
- decision ideas
|
||||||
|
- art supply selection (color / medium / subject / etc)
|
||||||
|
- magic 8 ball prompts
|
||||||
|
- travel
|
||||||
|
- campground
|
||||||
|
- destination
|
||||||
|
- travel 'stuff' -> 'local choices all sound good, where to start/go/etc'
|
||||||
|
- weekend outing
|
||||||
|
- day tripping
|
||||||
|
- order of operations
|
||||||
|
- what order of sights to see
|
||||||
|
- @ comicon, order of visiting venders/celebs
|
||||||
|
- pretty much anything related to food
|
||||||
|
- pretty much anything related to entertainment
|
||||||
|
- pretty much anything related to romance / sex / kink
|
||||||
|
- be clear 'low risk' and such
|
||||||
|
- there should never be a traumatic option or opportunity to be traumatized present
|
||||||
|
- the risk of injury should be low and at worst 'stubbed toe' level of injury
|
||||||
|
- relative risk and real risk for each option should be as similar as possible -> no option is 'worse' than others
|
||||||
|
- before applying this game to any low risk health management decisions, talk to your provider to ensure the game will not have unintended consequences upon your health
|
||||||
|
- notably food/eating
|
||||||
|
- note how creator uses the game to help themselves
|
||||||
|
- include mindfulness game question prompts as a template choice list
