Posted - 24 May 2006 : 13:12:31 Hi folks. Forgive the plug of a (for now) non-Realmsian topic, but Wolfgang Baur is up to something interesting.
He's started a patronage-sponsored project to design a fully developed module/adventure, and those who contribute to the fund get to make decisions on and influence the design.
Think of this as you telling a professional game designer how to design a module to your specifications.
Wolf's an old friend and he's also got his ties to the Realms--his adventures in DUNGEON of old were Realms adventures, and he made his bones in game design in AL QADIM, which is tangentially Realms as the southern continent of Zakhara.
Anyhoo, I'm already a patron (fighting hard to see [project of choice] become the lead design, as it's most Realmsian in flavor and more portable to any campaign, but that's just my opinion) and hoped to see if any fans wanted to check out this project and perhaps help it out. In subtle ways by monster choice or NPCs or other ideas, you can make it fit the Realms (and/or your campaign) easily.
In fact, Wolf's asked me (and Ed & Jeff) to contribute some ideas on suggestions as a sidebar on how to fit this into the Realms. Have to think on that....
Well, I thank Alaundo for the chance to make this plug for a pal, and hope some of you come and check it out.
I hope enough Candlekeep fans might be interested to invest enough to bring the project to fruition.
Take a peek and let me know what you think. The first link gives you the broad view and the second is the ongoing blog about it.

Posted - 25 May 2006 : 18:07:17 Sounds very very interesting... when I have the cash to spare I'm going to become a patron.
I really like the idea. It worked in music; Marillion made at least on album I know of solely with the help of fans. If the patrons can really influence the outcome of the product this might have even more merit in the future...
