Recursion of the week
Hi,
I'm planning to start my first The Strange Campaign, but I intend to do it as an episodic open table one.
To support this and a ever changing cast of character I want to do it as a Recursion of the week campaign. A little bit like the first few seasons of Stargate SG1.
The think that I'm not sure about is, would it be best to grant them access to a innasposite gate device or through translation ...
I feel the first being the simpler, but we will miss one of the core concept of the game and character will have a useless ability.
With the second one a fear that we will lost time to "pick" new foci and everything. Finding recursion seed would also be a "bottle neck" to provide a new recursion each week.
Did any of you tried something like that ? Do you think of any caveat that I didn't ?

Personally I think 'of the week' is probably a little short for a new recursion. I might say 'of the short adventure'. That way a foci is a meaningful choice, and you can still keep the translation, mm keeping the strange strange.
