[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 4425470, member: 46559"] I had a read through this proposal's wiki pages, too. I was looking for things that need addressing before this setting proposal can be considered viable, i.e. ready to play in. There's not a lot; this setting is damn near ready to go. Here's what I did write down, though: [list] [*] Regional benefits need to be discussed and balanced. [*] Should separate out the character creation rules (e.g. 25 point buy, must use approved template, MM races will be subject to scrutiny for balance issues as well as correctness) from the setting stuff. It may go back together in the same document later once we've decided on a setting [*] map. We ought to have one, even if it's vague and known to be inaccurate. I don't care if it's the one I drew or not. [*] Kingdom of Allaria? I just noticed this in the backstory of Daunton. Sounds good, but maybe a paragraph of general knowledge is called for. [*] Brotherhood of the Bright Eon? This is the cult that brought down the Five. Maybe a bit of backstory on them and what they stand for? Could be a good recurring villain. I admit I'm picking nits a bit in pointing out this one; it could be ignored. Although, reading farther, it seems like they took down the Brotherhood of the Spun Staff too, and have a complete book of the portal codes? Maybe they're more important... [*] If Daunton is going to have a Library as part of its regional benefits, there should be a section on the library in the wiki. [*] Island #3. I think I called this Kestoriel on my map. Needs a writeup. There was an early suggestion that this island could be fey-linked. That might tie in well with the bit in Daunton's writeup about how the Five got the fey to leave Daunton's island mostly alone, but now they're coming back. [*] Imperium needs a final writeup based on discussions page. [*] Pantheon needs to be integrated into the setting proposal. Origin story. I need to go over how gods work in 4e again, but I feel like there's more to be done there, mechanically speaking. [*] Overall, needs just a bit more work on consistency, proofreading, using the right names in all the right places (there are still a few instances of "island #5" and such). [/list] Again, this is all just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
