What on earth am I doing posting something on a day like this, when I am usually Gaming (or catching up on all the non-gaming activities that often get swamped by game needs or Campaign Mastery itself)?<\/p>\n<p>Unless you&#8217;ve been avoiding me (heavens knows why), you will be aware that the last few weeks at Campaign Mastery have been dominated by a 5-part &#8211; now 6-part &#8211; series on how to write better narrative. These were very much conceived as a single article, and much of the usefulness is lost by the divisions that were necessary to get them written and published. Furthermore, it was always my intention to provide a checklist to follow when using the procedure outlined, which is lengthy and detailed.<\/p>\n<p>Neither document was ready for inclusion in the final part of the series when it was published, about 42 hours ago. But they are ready now! And this extra, out-of-schedule post is for the sole purpose of making them available to you, the readers.<\/p>\n<table WIDTH=100% CELLPADDING=4 CELLSPACING=0 BGCOLOR=\"#e6e6ff\">\n<tr VALIGN=TOP>\n<td WIDTH=33% STYLE=\"border: none; padding: 0.1cm\">\n<div id=\"attachment_5948\" style=\"width: 130px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Stylish-Narrative-Checklists.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5948\" src=\"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/PDF_2.gif\" alt=\"PDF Icon\" width=\"56\" height=\"64\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5948\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5948\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Checklist (1-page PDF) 74.1Kb<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td WIDTH=33% STYLE=\"border: none; padding: 0.1cm\">\n<div id=\"attachment_5948\" style=\"width: 130px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/The-Secrets-of-Stylish-Narrative-A4.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5948\" src=\"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/PDF_2.gif\" alt=\"PDF Icon\" width=\"56\" height=\"64\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5948\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5948\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A4 optimized PDF (53 pages, 919.8kB)<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td WIDTH=33% STYLE=\"border: none; padding: 0.1cm\">\n<div id=\"attachment_5948\" style=\"width: 130px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/The-Secrets-of-Stylish-Narrative-Letter.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5948\" src=\"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/PDF_2.gif\" alt=\"PDF Icon\" width=\"56\" height=\"64\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5948\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5948\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Letter-size optimized PDF (54 pages, 925.7kB)<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr VALIGN=TOP>\n<td WIDTH=33% STYLE=\"border: none; padding: 0.1cm\">\n<\/td>\n<td COLSPAN=2 WIDTH=67% STYLE=\"border: none; padding: 0cm\">\n<p>Click one of the icons above to download a compilation of the entire article series as a PDF &#8211; Available in A4 and Letter size.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><em><strong>These documents may be freely redistributed provided they are not modified in any way and the accreditation and copyright notices remain intact.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Use them in good health!<\/p>\n<p>(PS: I&#8217;m very gratified by the kudos and compliments that have been offered for the series.
