[QUOTE="Radiating Gnome, post: 1419469, member: 150"] I'm just tossing in another voice here -- I have already spent hours printing out story hours so I could read them on paper over the past year and a half or so. It would be worth a lot to have them in book form. No doubt about it. I think I'd really encourage the authors to think about including more than nominal game content. A detailed appendix, with campaign world notes, new monsters, NPCs, PCs, House Rules, etc. Many of you are doing that already in the rogues gallery. There may be some copyright issues for some campaigns, but in most cases the material is original enough that it shouldn't be a problem. Some may need less (Wulf's endlessly entertaining story hour was based on pretty much out-of-the-box D&D and the adventure sequence, so there would be far less need for appendix details that there are for campaigns that take place in entirely new worlds) I'm not sure I'm a fan of the serialization idea works for me, though. It would allow many SH authors to get something in print right away, and it would take any sort of competition out of the enterprise, but it will be a less-cohesive whole. I'd rather see a story hour that has a real narrative shape to it -- a campaign from beginning to end -- with support materials. BTW, what method will you use to select the story hours to be published? I have no personal interest -- it's been more than a year since I updated my own POS story hour, but beyound an interest in being published, what other critieria will make a story hour a good candidate for publication in whatever the final format may be. -rg [/QUOTE]
