[QUOTE="timbannock, post: 7721468, member: 17913"] We all have our favorites, and I think those names are pretty much on everyone's list. But no matter how much we pine for that, the list we got are people that have -- at some point, in some form -- worked directly with Wizards' team, and therefore, they pretty much know (barring unforeseen circumstances) that these people aren't just interested and involved, but can also *take direction* from them. I think that's the factor that got their names first. It's one thing to produce content. It's a whole other bag to produce it to someone else's specifications and on someone else's deadlines. I wouldn't surprised if MT and folks like that are exactly the names will see in round two. In no small part because round one shows they are looking, and once we see the actual type of content that drops, the cream of the crop will *know* what's coming if they should get called on, and will be in a much better place to product that kind of stuff under direction from Wizards. (IME: I write good adventures. But it's taken me over 1.5 years to put one on the Guild because there's no way in hell I'd be happy releasing anything less than perfection, and certainly not on some other people's deadlines. Not even if Wizards was throwing money at me to do so. I'm certainly not the norm, but there's pieces of that that aren't exactly outliers when it comes to project management and deadlines. The names we see in the first round are there for a reason beyond just popularity, or total content, or any one thing like that.) [/QUOTE]
