Re: I'm going to try

See, that's structural writing. You start with an idea (or format, the first two steps are interchangeable) and then feel out how it connects to other things until you find a story.

In this manner, you will almost always get an original story even if you start with the same basic idea as someone else, just because there are so many branches and people get excited by different things.

Also if you like board games at all, I highly recommend Call to Adventure:

I was amused to see that someone else actually made the connections I did:
