at several points this year i have idly joked about giving a talk or writing an essay entitled "DESIGNING TOWARDS ADHD: A MANIFESTO" about designing tabletop rpgs for people with adhd. i'll probably still write a full version of that essay! however: a few months ago, i got down an outline and shared it with some folks, at which point @keftiu told me "tbh hit publish on this; it’s ADHD-length." i think there's a degree of merit to that, so until i do publish a full version, enjoy this draft. i have changed "manifesto" to "handbook" in the interest of making the advice sound less authoritative and more autobiographical. thus i present to you the handbook:
- IF IT IS NOT WRITTEN DOWN IN FRONT OF SOMEONE IT WILL BE LOST
- PUT EVERYTHING ON THE CHARACTER SHEET
- MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF THINGS THAT ARE NOT A CHARACTER SHEET
