Ah... Actually Arivia, we may also want to do something like that for 'Barrens' as well. I've been developing some of the ideas we discussed previously, and some alterations on the accepted source details may not be such a bad thing... Especially when it comes to using the Blood War as a basis...
When we next chat, I'll show you what I am talking about.

I'm still very keen, but I'm a bit confused about what is actually happening! I was waiting for some confirmation on others' speculation by Dargoth.
1) Final confirmation - we start in which month of 1372 (or are we back to 1373)?
2) How are we submitting stuff? Here on this, or a specifically created board, submission by idea (in which case I could startstraight away)?
3) How are other people organising theirs? Are you all working on long plot threads? Or are you working - as above - as the time is available/idea comes?
4) Are we including homebrew ideas, and any non-canon material that we wish?
I think that is it...
I'm sorry if this seems repetitive! |

No, it's not repetitive. It's just brought some of the lesser answered questions back into focus. Here's my (somewhat limited) thoughts regarding these questions -
quote:
1) Final confirmation - we start in which month of 1372 (or are we back to 1373)?
I believe nearly everyone involved has (to some degree) agreed on starting in 1372 DR.
quote:
2) How are we submitting stuff? Here on this, or a specifically created board, submission by idea (in which case I could startstraight away)?
I think the best idea here, is to simply create one scroll for your own submissions. Simply label it Current Clack - Dragon Coast, which is what my scroll would be titled when I starting posting material based on the Dragon Coast region. If other scribes are also responsible for that area, or adjacent regions, they may also post there works in these scrolls as well.

3) How are other people organising theirs? Are you all working on long plot threads? Or are you working - as above - as the time is available/idea comes?
It's a little of both actually. While I have a relatively long plot, it's constantly evolving as new material is released.
quote:
4) Are we including homebrew ideas, and any non-canon material that we wish?
I think we agreed that so long as the non-canon ideas do not conflict with established "official" material, then it can also be included.

In order to keep the focus on this project, can we agree to a deadline for first submissions? I don't believe we would have to present something for every area under our control, but a little bit of lore for each nation/area might be enough to get us started. Would everyone be agreeable to a submission date of June 20th?
A few more clarifying questions though:
1. In what section of the boards do we want to post our "Current Clack" submissions?
2. Do we want Wooly Rupert to edit for spelling, grammar, etc prior to submission? What about anyone to check for adherence to canon lore?
3. Are we agreed that we'll submit once a month; i.e. "Current Clack: Bloodstone Lands, Kythorn 1372"? |

Hmmm... interesting questions.

I'm thinking that the Adventuring section would probably be best. Maybe Tethtoril has some thoughts on this...?

I think I said something about helping out with the editing duties, along with Arivia and Wooly. As for the correlation with Realmslore and the like, perhaps the editors should be responsible for that also.

Once a month is the best option I've seen (wait, it's the only option I've seen  ). Although, perhaps we should keep this open since some scribes may have more to post that others. Maybe it should be a "once a month" submission minimum.

*leans head on the top of his staff*
I am of the mind to collate the material submitted into its own area in the Campaign Journals section. It truly does not 'fit' any of the current categories. 
A suggestion about submission times, if you are going to make this a long-term project. Perhaps your submission time should come in advance of site updates by a week or so. That way it can be doublechecked for such minor things like ... continuity of web appearance.
Off again, must continue wandering, I've been lax the last two days and it shows.   |

Thanks for answering the questions Sage. I feel somewhat less confused, and will try to begin soon.
Three more (minor) questions before I get the whole picture though:
1) Any particular month in 1372? Or is that up to us?
2) Is it month-by-month in real-world terms as well as FR (as in we submit Kythorn 1272 in July, Flamerule in August etc.)?
3) Would it be possible to start it at the very beginning of July, or at least late June? I still am swamped by exams (and its more a case of emotionally than actual time constraints, though there are plenty of those too), but will be able to totally commit once they are over.
Thanks. |
