[QUOTE="Admiral Caine, post: 4664390, member: 60438"] Interesting. Ari M. (Mouseferatu) posted here on EnWorld that he had seen the Scales of War story bible, confirming that the document does in fact exist. He as the author of one of the chapters. He couldn't comment on the contents, of course, as a freelancer. However I have no reason not to take him at his word (and I do in fact believe him). I also don't refute any post in this thread. What I find interesting is reconciling the fact that there is a central plot and story bible, and yet the Quality Control on Scales Of War seems to be very intermittant- especially as evidenced by the posts in this thread. I wonder if there is a Primary Editor for Scales of War, or are the editing chores being passed around to different people too? I'm a Paizo fan and subscriber as well as a 4E subscriber, and I know that Paizo APs have had their share of issues too. I'm not blind to that. I do see James Jacobs putting a lot time and passion into making the Paizo APs as cohesive as possible, mistakes notwithstanding. James and Wes S. step up to the plate when the AP is messed up. What I don't see from WOTC is anybody stepping forward and saying "As far as Scales of War is concerned, the Buck Stops Here. I'm the Editor overseeing the whole AP, and the freelancers report to me." Whoever that Editor is, he/she remains behind the curtains- or there is no such person at all. If WOTC staff read this, if there is such an Editor, I wish they would come out and speak about SoW. It won't be fun or easy, but I think it would be an opportunity to act with integrity and possibly get more people interested in making SoW live up to its potential. [/QUOTE]
