(Discussion) General Part I

[Macbeth]

I'll start reviewing them immediately, but with the number of characters already submitted and the fact that I'm moving out of my house and into dorms in a city about 2 hours away this weekend, I may not get through them all this weekend. I will, however, get them all reviewed as soon as I can.
Thanks for another opportunity to participate in this venture. I can't believe how quickly this is taking off!

Me neither! Thanks for helping (at whatever pace you're able, it's still a huge help!), and head over here to see Verdante on display!

EDIT: This was my 2500th post! Woohoo!

Congrats on the 2500th post, Garyh. I've started reading the chars, and I think I'm doing everything as it should be done, but if you need me to do anything differently, or back off and let the mods take care of stuff, just tell me. i don't want to step on anybody's toes, so if I overstep my job, just tell me, I'm just doing what I think is best.

After reading a few back stories, I have an idea. I think that the Judge/GM for each forum/place/adventure should collect the refernces to outside places, people, and things. This would mean, for example, if I were to come across a back story mentioning "Sir Loin of Beef" as a powerful lord of "the kingdom of Geret," it would be my job to report back to Creamsteak, Garyh, and the othre leaders, so they can be sure to add it to the world. This would help make sure that mentions of NPCs, Places, etc. make it back to the inner circle, and that the idea of everybody building the world really pans out. Barkeeps, GM's, etc. would do the same with the threads they are responsible for, so if somebody mentions "Beregond of Gerret" in the tavern it would be the barkeep's job to get that info back to Creamsteak and Garyh. I think this may be the best bet for our world building scheme.

Yeap, every judge collects the NPC info about the part he overviews. Seems naturally that MacBeth as characterjudge collects the NPC info from the character backgrounds. Maybe a new thread where all this info could be dumped by the different judges, ready to be picked up and assembled? Though the number of threads is gonna get out of hand, and the 1st adventure hasn't even started yet.

Another great idea, MacBeth! Say hello to the Living Enworld Atlas and Almanac!!

Garyh: Sorry about misposting in the Almanac, my fault I didn't see the "DO NOT POST YET" at the top of the page. Just anxious to get started. Glad you got it straightened out.

No problem, I probably edited that in while you were posting! I'll make it known here when the Atlas is open for submissions.
