[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6492997, member: 37579"] I love this idea! ENWorld has certainly moved from a simple news site towards content creation with its Adventure Path, so going an e-magazine route is a fun idea. And the name's fun. When things get going I'll happily pitch ideas and work on content. But I imagine that will be the least hard role to fill. (Layout might be the hardest as someone with good layout skills [I]and[/I] access to InDesign will be tricky.) I don't have much experience in editing - excluding self-editing my own writing projects - and no professional experience. But I do have an English degree and some experience [URL="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/131097/Jester-Davids-HowTo-Guide-to-Fantasy-Worldbuilding"]writing article content[/URL] for D&D. I'd happily volunteer my services if someone without an editing background doesn't step up. I would suggest three editors though: one for Pathfinder crunch, one for 5e crunch, and one for general English. Getting the rules right is too important to leave to a non-dedicated individual, but someone who knows the rules [U]and[/U] proper English will be harder to find. Failing that, having the other editor glance through the other system's content for comprehension wouldn't be a bad idea. [/QUOTE]
