If you haven't played Season Two yet, don't click that image, unless you want the whole plot to be spoiled!

People have been asking about how planned out Season Two was, wondering for how long the designers had planned for various facets of the story, so we thought people would be interested to see this:

(Click it for a bigger version)

It's the big sheet of butcher paper, made by Heather Logas, that the designers used when plotting out the basic structure of the season, way back in June of last year. It's been hanging in our meeting room below the whiteboard, totally unchanged, for almost a year now. (In plain view of all the playesters who came through during the season, no less! Kudos to all of them for not leaking anything, and/or shame on them for not being cunning enough to notice it!)

Looking at it now, it's surprising how little actually changed! A few details of when Bosco's, and Sybil's story beats hit shuffled around, and Bosco's bunker got moved to a less exotic (and more funny) locale, but after playing through the season, it's almost all there!

Anyway, check it out, and enjoy.

I have a photo of it up in the old office on move-out day somewhere, but haven't been able to find it :(

"Rescue Satan"

Now there's a phrase you don't see every day!

Fascinating.

So... did anybody ever mix up all the post-it notes just to screw with everyone else? :D

That was something to see. :cool:

The office downstairs didn't know what to think.

This part is the part I jus love. :D I seriously wonder how many playtesters either kept it all to themselves or just plain ignored it/didn't notice it. I love it.

Man when you look at it like that, stuff's real simple.

Good thing there were a lot of twists and turns along the way :)

It's the big sheet of butcher paper, made by Heather Logas...

Why didn't you just buy some butcher paper, instead of having her make it herself? Would have been easier... :p

You should've used paper made from flint instead. ;)
