Next blog post for section 2502:

1. post any questions asked to you by the players
2. summarize any changes you feel need to be made based on the results of today's play
3. questions - ask questions of the players - i.e. is the game fun and engaging, how is the length of the game, how do you feel about the strength of the questions (if there are questions), how is the clarity of the rules, do you have any suggestions for improvement? - post these questions and the answers to them on your blog
