What? Me Worry?
Yes, please take what I'm saying in as friendly a tone as possible.
We welcome content for the Middle Earth d20 site. What I hope is that we end up with a range of material that can appeal to any taste. If anyone dislikes something on the site, and feels they have a better way - please write it up and contribute! As I said above, even if you feel that no changes are necessary to the D&D system, write an essay exploring that, and send it to us or post it here. I sincerely want to see such material posted.
What I'm personally going to do is contribute stuff to fill in the blank spots on the site. Characters and items are at the top of my "to do" list, and I have a number of character write ups that I'm in the process of finishing; with luck I'll be able to send them to Palcadon tomorrow (3/3) to post.
But that doesn't mean that my versions of the characters and items are the only ones - I was hoping to see more write ups, and I was glad to see Gru's posted.
Speaking of which, we'd like the characters statted up more completely so we can post 'em. Check out the examples I wrote that are on the site, which are of Gandalf the Grey and Aragorn. That level of detail is what we are looking for. I haven't fully equipped them, but have mentioned their most important items (I do intend, however, to fully equip them once I get all the characters I'm going to do written up, and probably include the Defense Bonus stats discussed in the conversion docs; Vitality and Wound points, which I've mentioned as a good addition to Middle Earth d20, are easy to figure without me actually writing them down).
I want to stress that this is a site for the fans, by the fans. We aren't putting stuff up and saying "this is the only way to do this!" This site should be a clearing house for material that suits anyone and everyone, and which can be picked over like a menu, with everybody choosing to use what works for them and leaving the rest - and contributing material when they see a niche that needs filled.
