+Title: Advanced Play
+
+## Write off the story
+
+Of course, "just playing" the game is fine, and I hope you enjoy it. But you may
+do a little bit more with it, I guess. You make this game a *Story Game* by 
+using not only your dice, but your imagination and your creativity.
+
+When you play Stardrifter, you can write an entry in your Captain's logbook
+along. Narrating your story as if you were the Commander of the Star Trek
+Enterprise, or something.
+
+> Week 223: Taking off from Sheldia to Marsengorh. Full load of Electronics in the
+> Cargo Units. All systems are GO, although I'm a little bit anxious about the
+> Weapon system. Hopefully, the Warp zones are safe in this area so I'm confident
+> about this trip.
+>
+
+Each time you build a new World using the [Galaxy Generator][galaxy], describe
+it. Try to imagine the way it looks, how are the people living there. Does your
+character know someone on this Planet? Has (s)he been there before? What is your
+character going to do with fresh money in hands? Drink it? Enjoy life until the
+next mission?
+
+Each time you're travelling and bad things happen, why don't you try to vividly
+describe what happened? Were you scared? Why did you decide to flee instead of
+fighting? How did you negociate with the Space Pirates? How did you get out of
+trouble?
+
+> When I knew that the Pirates wouldn't want to keep me alive, I had to make
+> a choice. Flee or fight. My brand new gun cannons needed to be live tested.
+> I made an evasive zig-zag, and they didn't have time to react: a couple of
+> seconds after that, their engines were severly damaged, and they were unable
+> to chase me.
+>
+> I sent them a last call before re-entering Hyperspace: "I told you... You
+> should have accepted my offer".
