[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 5411313, member: 8461"] I was thinking earlier that U_K would probably get things out much faster if there was a single other person that he worked with; a (junior) partner, if you will. Obviously, his going it solo takes forever and a day. Likewise, I don't think that his working with a group of people would make things any better - having to wait on too many others' contributions inevitably causes things to stall, since the interconnectedness of writing a single book means that U_K (and some other people) all end up waiting on the not-forthcoming work of whoever can't go fast enough. Having one other person be a part of the process, however, would probably take a lot of the work off of U_K's plate. Consider, he could write a half-finished stat block for a high-level creature/NPC, hand it to the other guy and say "polish this up" and then forget about it until the other guy sends the completed stat block back for review. That person would also be able to legitimately poke U_K with "hurry up" emails, since they'd be much more manageable "hurry up and send me the next bit for me to do" rather than "hurry up and finish the book" messages that aren't likely to make things go any faster. And that's overlooking that just bouncing ideas off someone else can oftentimes help stimulate one's own ideas, or that talking about something can make you more excited to get to work on it, etc. Were U_K still writing for 3.5, I'd say that person should be me. But for 4E...I don't know. [/QUOTE]
