[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 2783612, member: 9646"] I am aware this is community work and will let other members add their ideas and devellop them as well. I don't care that my ideas being altered. In fact I expect that all this community work should give excellent, if unexpected results. [B]Brainstorming.[/B] I see an advantage with brainstorming directly on the Wiki: You don't need to gather all the thread's posts and combine them, which is a tedious work. Plus, often such threads disappear into oblivion after a week or two. On the Wiki the process can go on and evolve on its own, it doesn't require someone to make the work of turning the whole thread into a coherent stuff. [B]Races.[/B] My suggestions were about the PC races mostly. They are also suggestions that you may not agree with and want to modify. Nellisir, if you don't agree on some point, modify it! Anyway, my main concern was to not have every race having got its own nation and kingdom, all of them of similar size, which I would find boring. Now (for example), I have no problem if someone decides to change my line about Half-giants being Northern Trollborns into having them being ofshoot of fire giants living in the Fire Mountains. Likewise (for example), you could decide to use the Xephs as the main race inhabiting the Berin continent rather than being gypsies and mariners. On the other hand, instead of changing what one wrote entirely, I think better would be to keep some of the existing ideas when adding your own. For example, suppose you want the Xephs being the main race of Berin, where I told they were just wandering sailors and gypsies on both continents. You could now overwrite that Xephs are the main race from Berin, but that many rebels have rejected their nation and emigrated; however, since they have a hard time finding a place where settle, these rebels are now wandering gypsies on Brennan, or live on ships across the oceans. BTW: I personally don't care for the psionic races and wouldn't have included them myself. But since they were already included on the Wiki page I elaborated on them. [/QUOTE]
