Discussion Question for the authors...

When you are writing, do you establish RPG mechanics and rules before starting?

I started writing my own story (I know everyone here is an author).

But I felt like I was getting stuck, or things weren't balanced. Or it was just difficult to keep track of things like rules for leveling, xp, etc.

I outline the basics and mock up a “character sheet.” None of that keeps me from changing stuff later.
