This is a collaborative text I think might be interesting to examine/adopt.
The project took several years and a lot of people to accomplish.

David Perry on Game Design Book
is now available!

Hi, 

My Video Game Design book is finally out.  It's the biggest book on game
design ever written, at over 1,000 pages long.  It's designed to help
students & designers come up with innovative new ideas, and also to expand
current ideas.  The goal was to write a book you could "use" instead of a
book about the subject of game design.  So if you need to make characters,
weapons, story, puzzles, quests, or even just make something funny, that's
really the objective of the book.

I've been in the industry professionally for over 25 years, have created
multiple #1 hit games that have gone on to sell over a billion dollars at
retail.  This book is over five years of work, documenting systems to
generate new game ideas, worlds & mechanics.  The students are asked to then
join a design group at www.gamedesignbook.org
