[QUOTE="Dunamin, post: 4650979, member: 57529"] [B]The Forces of Darkness Encroach Upon the Transitive Isles! Children Hide Under Tables, Damsels Cry Out For Help, Dwarves Sober Up! Heroes Rise to the Challenge Yet They Are Lost Without a Light to Show Them the Way! They Call Out For Guidance, For Wisdom… For You! Do You Have What It Takes to Master the Shifting Seas?[/B] [IMG]http://www.starstore.com/acatalog/Judge_Dredd_l-2000AD-poster.jpg[/IMG] L4W has grown a lot since launch and with the help of all of you we’ve created a fun environment for playing D&D online. We’re happy to have submissions for new characters and adventurers steadily pouring in, but as the community grows we need to step up with managing it all. This task is primarily that of the judges, but unfortunately there are at present only 3 of us: Covaithe, Garyh, and me. We’re hoping there are a few members out there who would consider joining us to help keep the living world manageable. Being judge is not just effort for no reward; it gives you a very active hand in shaping and defining the experience we all enjoy, in particular by being able to vote on what changes and additions are proposed for the setting. As outlined more clearly in the [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/living-4th-edition/246934-l4w-charter-read-first.html"]L4W Charter[/URL] being a judge entails: [B]Reviewing Character and Adventure Submissions[/B] Judges and volunteers helpers review new characters and those that level up, to check that everything is in order - simple as that. Judges review adventures to check they are suitable for their intended players and don’t conflict with the principles of the setting. We ensure low-level characters don’t end up fighting ancient red dragons and that armies from Ea doesn’t take over Daunton. In that way, we are basically Defenders of the World (TM). [B]Overlooking Games[/B] Usually this is no burden at all, the judge just helps resolve issues that the DM and players may need help with.

[B]Voting on Proposals[/B] New D&D material is steadily published and we want to allow members to enjoy these in a responsible manner.

[B]Helping to Manage the EN Wiki for the L4W Setting[/B] Details of the Transitive Isles (the L4W campaign setting) are contained on the EN Wiki and all members are free to add and edit to it according to the general premise and principles of the setting. It is custom to discuss changes on the forum before carrying them out, unless they are very minor. Admittedly, the wiki can use quite an extensive overhaul, but the intent is that all members (not just judges) steadily add or clarify details as they introduce new or revisit old pieces of lore in their character backgrounds or adventure locations. We understand that some may be hesitant due to implication of a little responsibility, but being judge is also a lot of fun since you become more central in shaping your D&D experience.
