Re: Re: [EN World Book Club] Suggestions & Selectors I've got no problem with this schedule. After all, this is supposed to be an enjoyable exercise, not something that gives people stress. Unless anyone has any objection, I think this schedule should be adopted.

I just added you to the first post of the thread. On the rotation question, if you're talking about the types of books, we haven't codified it as a requirement. More of a guideline really. If you mean the "editorial board", there will be one member selected per month. Oh, and keep the...

Ummm. I'll get right on putting that on the secondary list. Hmmm.... Where did I put the "secondary list"? Oh, yeah, circular file. There it goes. Done. :p Seriously, if you've got something (that's appropriate) for book club's consideration, just post it and I'll add it to the list.

I know you're not looking at immediately starting a gaming store, but if you're thinking about it, look at this thread: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38015 In January of this year I seriously considered opening a store and did a fair amount of research. I determined...

Re: Re: [EN World Book Club] Suggestions & Selectors The selection process isn't closed. If you want to be on the list, just post it. Over time it may turn into something different, but in the beginning at least, the selection process is one person saying "we should read this book", and that...

I've edited the first post in the thread to point people here. Thanks for the idea.

Good point. The editorial member choosing the book for that month will have to select an edition/translation for books where that is an issue. Are you talking about being an editorial member, or just participating in the club?

FYI, the ShoreCon website now has the RPGA events for pre-registration.

Now that Grunlor has decided to participate in the quest he is eager to be underway. "We should be on our way then", he says as he looks to the rest of the group. "Let those theives and goblins be wary Master Melian. We will be back directly with your family heirloom."

It seems like we're getting a lot of suggestions for "classics" (which is understandable). Let's try to get some more newly published works (within the last 2 years) up there that people may not even know is out.

Status Update I've been editing the first post of the thread as suggestions are made and people express interest in being an "editorial member". The suggestion list is growing nicely and we have 5 people so far on the "editorial member" list. If you want to participate in that fashion, please...

The modules are still free, though Polyhedron is part of Dungeon Magazine now. As for the benefits of the RPGA the main reason I'm active is for participation in the "Living" campaigns - basically shared world campaigns that you create a character in and use it any time you play, anywhere, in...

I think we should stick to novels. Substantive discussion on an anthology of short stories would be less likely, IMO.

I agree with that. I don't see anything wrong with the first book in a series. That said, I don't think I'd want to do a whole series.

Just because you've read it somewhat recently, don't hold back on suggesting it. If you enjoyed it and think it would be worth reading and discussing, put it out there.

I've started a thread for the posting of suggested books and people who want to act as (what I'm calling for the moment) "editorial members". You can find it here: [Book Club] Suggestions & Selectors

If you weren't aware, we've been tossing around the idea of doing an "EN World Book Club" here on the message boards. (See EN World Book Club Thread for more background.) This thread is for people to suggest books for consderation, and for people to volunteer to select a book for reading. If...

I don't think we should really limit the genre much at all. The intent is to expose people to good reads and then get some further intellectual stimulation from discussion of said read. As long as the book is good (and somewhat thought provoking) what difference does it make if it is hard SF...

Good idea. A simple check would be to see if it is available from Amazon (and shipping). If not, then it's not eligible. Also, been thinking about having one person select the book to be read. Don't have any problem with that, but I do like the "rotating book type" concept. Not sure how you...
