[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 187267, member: 63"] Reflecting on things, I've come to the conclusion that we need more structure. Not only do we need people to have fairly precise duties and roles concerning the production of the setting, but we also need people to sign onto writing particular areas. We can't rely on random submissions, because we're too far into the process of making this world. Thus, we need to make a list of topics that need to be written, and ask people to dedicate themselves to writing them. As for 'officer positions,' I think BurnedMan is probably going to stay our Style Editor, rewriting material so it fits the same style. I imagine Leopold will be Chief Setting Developer, acting as president. What other officers do we need? [b]Rules Editor[/b]--To rulesproof everything, playtest it slightly or at least make sure things are balanced. Make the rules work techincally. [b]Art Coordinator[/b]--This position is not vital quite yet, but it will be when it comes time to do the final production of the sourcebook. Whoever this is will have to decide what needs art, and who to hire. [b]Consistency Editor[/b]--This person makes sure that if we say the Pale Lord likes chicken, that somewhere else we don't say that the Pale Lord ordered all chickens removed from Skaukator. Also, the consistency editor should know better than to even allow the Pale Lord to like chicken, seeing as how he's dead. Of course these positions will all have support by the rest of the group, but they'll each be in charge of making final decisions. We'll also probably want to have people decide to be experts on different locations. I'm more busy with Natural 20 Press, so I can't do too much work for DF myself, but I would like to handle most of the work involving Skaukator and all the spirits. Once we get people to commit to writing particular material, we can move forward faster. We should have a membership drive of sorts, posting a huge list of what needs to be written, and asking people to sign up to fill in the holes. Also, it wouldn't hurt to release an rtf file of the setting, instead of a pdf. It makes it easier to copy/paste that way. [/QUOTE]
