[QUOTE="garyh, post: 4547973, member: 6078"] Stonegod and Halford have the right of it. This does make me think of a question that needs answering, though... Will we approve entire sources of materials, or do item by item approvals? In this case, do we review and approve the entire issue, or - say - the warforged article by itself, the goblin article, etc? For the FRPG, do we approve the whole thing, or look separately at, say, the genasi, the swordmage, dark pact, etc? Item by item provides much more control over what's allowed, but takes more work. Still, item by item is my preference. It lets us use the best parts of things without worrying about parts that don't fit / we don't think are balanced. Also, I think items should only be reviewed when a player intends to make use of them and so nominates them. I don't wanna waste a lot of time reviewing the gnoll article if we have no gnolls or anyone even want to play one, for example. Finally, there's issue of retconning in-play elements if new rules are approved. Does Incarnation upgrade to the new warforged rules automatically? Does Brudd's weapon shrink if we approve the minotaur rules? Etc. Note - by "item" I'm refering to a rules element, not a piece of equipment. :) [/QUOTE]
