I briefly mentioned <a href="http://www.celtx.com/overview.html" rel="nofollow">Celtx</a>, which I've used extensively for planning and organizing screenplays (it has a great virtual index card system), but I held off on going deeper because I felt that getting into a discussion of story per se -- narrative theory, dramatic writing (Aristotle, Egri, McKee, etc), game/narrative debates, etc -- was going to make this post <i>way</i> too long. Hopefully I'll have a story-specific resource up soon. Hmm -- maybe I could interview you for that...?

I agree – story is the alpha and omega here. I briefly mentioned Celtx, which I’ve used extensively for planning and organizing screenplays (it has a great virtual index card system), but I held off on going deeper because I felt that getting into a discussion of story per se — narrative theory, dramatic writing (Aristotle, Egri, McKee, etc), game/narrative debates, etc — was going to make this post way too long. Hopefully I’ll have a story-specific resource up soon. Hmm — maybe I could interview you for that…?

I definitely didn't mean to represent them in anything but a positive light. I linked to your "Cross Media Management Technologies" post because it's really comprehensive about something I didn't want to get into in this post, which is the range of "CMDS"-type systems that have been used/developed by some of the more established ARG prodcos. But it's also a great resource for the kinds of indie-oriented stuff that I gloss here. <a href="http://www.christydena.com/" rel="nofollow">Christy's Corner of the Universe</a> FTW! Hey Christy,

But I think you've misrepresented my resource a bit. I do include a few free or low-cost game delivery technologies in there too. Hey Jeff,

Great resource — it will help many! But I think you’ve misrepresented my resource a bit. I do include a few free or low-cost game delivery technologies in there too.
