It felt weird and some of the language is absolute. Many thanks (once again) goes to RPGnow for providing the sample contracts. I would have been lost without them – for that reason alone the <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=1668&" target="_blank">e-publishers guide </a> is worth the price. I did ask some of the artists [who are a pretty swell bunch of guys by the way] what they thought about contracts and their standard procedure. We will see what they say.[Amended: I asked what they thought about the contract I sent to them, and what they normally did for contracts. Earlier I had asked an artist (Lee Smith) what he wanted to with contracts and he gave me some good insight.] I spent a good part of last night writing descriptions for art pieces, by the time I got to my interior artist I was tapped out. I still need to describe two scenes to him but gave him enough that he can get started (I hope).I am working on finishing up a partnership agreement with my partner. This is another area that seems queer. All of the “professional people” tell me that this is a must. We are setting down what decisions can be made and by who, what the disposition of the funds will be, managerial responsibilities, corporate planning….etc. These are things that will make you uncomfortable when discussing amongst friends. Should I have the power to veto his projects? Should he have the power to change mine? Who spends the money and has access to the bank? Can he “fire” me? If these things are not decided upon upfront  then it can really become a nightmare (so I hear). Man, nursing is looking better all the time, maybe I should just work 2 jobs?I worked on the name thing. The area will be called the Imbrian Dominion or more commonly, the Western States. The story arc is the “Night of Fire,” funny how I return to my roots. I ran a Birthright PBEM called the Night of Fire. I just think it is a good idea and rife with possibilities. I am a name freak [and a map freak]. I spend hours looking at names and naming origins-conventions. I love planting information about stuff in the names I use. I would also like everyone to feel free to let me of names that just don’t work. I spent some of this evening getting stuff together for the guys and gals who will be taking over my fansite. Speaking of that, <a href="http://www.mabinogin.com/forums/" target="_blank">Pencil Pushers Forums </a> are officially up and running. The web site is still a few days off.Now I get to re-read the OGL-STL and think about those other 2 pictures? Look at about a dozen emails and get some sleep.No promises, but I will try to give a thought to products and what 3P (Pencil Pushers Publishing) will be doing.</blockquote>
