Memetics in RPGs

[Larry L.]

Michael,

I've decided this topic is too big to address constructively. Specifically, there are a lot of judgment calls you have to make as the designer that won't be relevant to other designs. Now, if you're unclear as to why I say that, I can point you to a bunch of articles and posts that explain the "big" decisions. But basically, I could sit here for hours and explain about a dozen ways you could handle memetics, but I think it will be more useful if we determine what your design goals are and work from there.

Why don't you start a thread in Indie Game Design and we can have a discussion about Memetics in Orion's Arm?
