10 months ago I was going to mention this one from 2014: https://github.com/dariusk/NaNoGenMo-2014/issues/113 but it looks like I already did that on your 2018 attempt: https://github.com/NaNoGenMo/2018/issues/42 well, at least I'm consistent!
I really liked the sportscaster framing and Garcia's color commentary throughout was very funny - treating it as a serious game of strategy and not just random card flipping.
After completing a couple simple novels early in the month. I thought I would look back at an unfinished project.
In honor of the world cup, I dusted off an attempt from 2019 that I never finished. A play by play recreation of a game of war (card game) tournament. The idea is to simulate a season of the game of war and then write the transcript of a play by play of the tournament.
When I started the first time I only got as far as the simulation, but this time I have added play by play, color commentary and some intro and outro text.
There is plenty of room for improvement, but it is complete!
I like the idea of sports cast as it lends itself to a narrative while remaining very structured.
Output of the novel.
