I’ve created this document some time ago to make easier brainstorming. It did a job, at least sometimes.
On the other hand the title have been ‘invented’ yesterday.
Anyway it is about usability and the idea was to move from dictionary to examples to have better understanding on what Dramatica element could mean and haw it can be ‘implemented’. As you probably know, in theory - theory and practice is the same; in practice - it is not.
I will share with you 16 subdomains with definition, some gists, some examples of goal, requirement, consequence, forewarning and finally existing stories/movies. To make navigation easier I decided to split it into separate threads but if admins believe it is better to keep it in a single one, just let me know.
Feel free to add your thoughts and examples. Especially because I have so many blank points to be filled.
This… could be a useful resource. Couple questions for you, though:
- Why did you make two separate threads for this?
- Why did you name it after the manifesto of warlord and psychopath Muammar Gaddafi?
Well… I hope it can be useful 
- This one is to show a big picture. On separate threads I’m going to describe different elements. There is 16 subdomains and I have also a further plan so with everything in one thread it may be hard to find an information. But if you think it is better to keep it in one thread I can merge it.
- I thought ‘Little Green Book’ is just a term for guide/report kind of document. Just put it in a web search. There is a lot more little green books. UK government reports, nice movie from 2018, guides to green energy, poker, baking and so many more. But… the title is also not written in a stone. I can change it if you wish.
This is a part of Dramatica Little Green Book.
Feel free to share your ideas, examples, stories, movies.
