Raiders Brainstorming Session

Mystery Man on Film has a great post showcasing a transcript of George Lucas, Stephen Spielberg, and Laurence Kasdan's initial brainstorming sessions for Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Reading this it's striking (although not necessarily surprising) how similar the tenor of the conversation is to a good Primetime Adventures brainstorming session, or the internal dialogues we sometimes have as gamemasters when the game is really popping and we are asking ourselves what we're going to do next. Pure gold, and well worth the read.

Also, reading this has only furthered my conviction that while George Lucas may not always do well on his own, when he's working with the right people he's awesome.

Check it out, and feel free to share your observations here.
