Like every story, this one has a begining. It began 81,820,800 seconds ago when I started writing The GameBook. It’s a wide ruled Staples notepad that contains the crude condensation of my thoughts about creating a board game. A fancy start indeed.

The GameBook

The first script was a medieval themed board game of Gods, Kings and Men. I had written and rewritten the script a few times only to realize weeks later that I am trying to create something complex on first attempt. For someone who had never successfully created any piece of work, this idea quickly seemed overwhelming. I had to settle down to find another simple one to begin with.

And when you drop your shoulders, you bend, fall and forget what you really wanted to do. Until one day when it comes back all again. That day came 29,894,400 seconds later when an idea popped up to create a casual board game that concentrates on fun and awkwardness. This idea took another 22,464,000 seconds to manifest into something more solid. Since that moment, this game has not faded from my memory and has gone through multiple versions. Another 4,761,540 seconds passed before the the core idea of the game settled into my 3 pound aging 20th century processor. And after another 2,678,400 seconds I am happy to announce that the game ‘Stripped — Season 1’ has conceived. Now there is no way to abort. I am exhilarated by how far the idea has matured and stuck wih me. Thanks to some of the Magic Lessons with Elizabeth Gilbert and all other voices in my casing. Without further exaggeration, here I present the welcome message for Stripped — Season 1.

Stripped — Season 1 Welcome Message

Hope that made you laugh out loud, think, be curious and feel as euphoric as I am. I would humbly request you hang on to this story and watch it be born into a reality. And finally if it is not a big ask, please share this story with your friends to make them feel the same way you did. And keep coming back here to watch the magic. Until then!

Yours loving

Game Master
