[QUOTE="seasong, post: 371759, member: 5137"] This is my first poll, and I apologise if I am stepping on any toes! My hat is in the ring for (E), but I will try to be as impartial as possible here. (A) formats have been proposed by jgbrowning, trix, Zappo. (B) formats have been proposed by Morrus, TwentyQuestions. (C) formats have been proposed by Krug, jgbrowning, fuindordm, Maraxle, Morgenstern. (D) formats have been proposed by AmerginLiath. (E) formats have been proposed by Tiefling, Morrus, TwentyQuestions, The Cardinal, The Grumpy Celt, seasong, KDLadage, bret. [COLOR=orange][b]Proposed Formats[/b][/COLOR] In order of posting, from the [URL=http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22764]Charity Fundraiser - our own setting search![/URL] thread. I included a quick summary of the many proposals here as a quick reference, since it takes a while to go through the 4 pages of other stuff to get at the format proposals! If I mistated someone's proposal (I tried to make it as brief as possible), please let me know and I will correct it here. [b]Krug[/b] Collection of 10 page proposals * Authors can expand to 100 page setting later. [b]jgbrowning[/b] two books: 1 winning setting book 1 collection of 10 page proposals [b]Tiefling[/b] Book should include runners up as well. WotC's example indicates there might be 7 10-pagers and 2 100-pagers. [b]AmerginLiath[/b] Three or four 64-page books. Three 64-page finalists & one book of 16-page semifinalists. [b]trix[/b] 200-page Player's guide 200-page DM's guide (developed by several of the participants, one setting) [b]Morrus[/b] "The final book could have (say) 1 large setting, 3 ten-pagers and 10 one-pagers." [b]TwentyQuestions[/b] "10 one-pagers, 3 ten-pagers and one 24-page winner would make a nice 64-page book." [b]fuindordm[/b] Multi-setting book! * more likely to buy * no one's put out one of these before * more likely to be published quickly 128-pager with 8 top settings of 10-20 pages [b]The Cardinal[/b] 144-page book w/18 settings 32-pages for 1st place 16-pages for 2nd - 6th place 2-pages for 7th - 18th place 8-pages for index, introduction, etc. [b]Maraxle[/b] 128-page book w/3 settings 40-pages for each of top 3 settings 8-pages for index, introduction, etc. [b]Morgenstern[/b] Don't include 1-page entries in the final book 10-page settings may not be good 96-page book w/2 or 3 settings either two 48-page settings or three 32-page settings Possible: Volume II (same format) [b]The Grumpy Celt[/b] 96-page book w/3 settings 48-page winner two 24-page runners up [b]seasong[/b] 128-pages w/10 settings 6-page intro, ToC, etc. 50-page for 1st place 8-page for 2nd - 10th place (alternate size) 64-pages w/4 settings 6-page intro, ToC, etc. 34-page for 1st place 8-page for 2nd - 4th place (alternate size) 256-pages w/10 settings 8-page intro, ToC, etc. 100-page for 1st place 16-page for 2nd - 10th place [b]KDLadage[/b] 160-page book w/3 settings 80-page for 1st place 40-page for 2nd - 3rd place (alternate size) 320-page book w/15 settings 80-page for 1st place 40-page for 2nd - 3rd place 20-page for 4th - 7th place 10-page for 8th - 15th place [b]bret[/b] (added in this thread) 128-page book w/4-5 settings 64-page for 1st place either 16-page for 2nd - 5th place or 20-page for 2nd - 4th place [b]Zappo[/b] (added in this thread) Two books, One setting 30-40 pages for player's book 200-250 pages for DM's book [/QUOTE]
