One thing that I didn't really like about the Halloween project was the restrictive nature. The only reason that I didn't contribute to it, was because, for the life of me, I couldn't come up with a good story, a CP Wiki quality level story, where I could work in the dice angle. Honestly, what I did manage to think up, was very detached from the actual project guidelines, with the dice only being referenced but never really used as a plot device.

While I do understand that we need some form of consisten concept to tie it all together, I would highly suggest that we go with a more open ended and less restrictive concept. Something that can be strung together to an end result, but still allows for maximum creative writing for the writers.

Perhaps a odd man that travels from city to city, and in each place, he witnesses something horrific. Each event can be a stand alone story, but the presence of the strange man ties it all together in some form.

Then, whoever decides to write the final entry, can decide this person's role in all of the chaos.

Just a thought. I like the "restrictive" thing.

My story idea was kind of the opposite of yours. I was thinking more along the lines of a single horrific event witnessed by multiple people; each person's perspective sheds more light on what exactly happened. Stories can be changed by different people, and there can be unreliable narrators.

As for the event, it can be anywhere from a shooting spree to a bombing (or perhaps something more supernatural).
