First off: the web address works now!!!!! So, you can now use: www.dragaera-rpg.com -grins- Second, as the subject line suggests - where are we headed? Well, for starters: if everyone could please go through the site and read everything. The Agreement and the Site Rules: ~~What's missing? Anything? ~~Is there anything that needs to be further explained? ~~Is there anything that needs to be changed or re-worded? Under the Advantages, Disadvantages, and Skills: ~~I've already made a few changes to some of the skills to bring them more in line with Drgaera. Are there further changes - point costs, difficult level, etc. that need to be made? ~~What new ads, disads and skills do we need? If you're interested in contributing to the website in any way, please let me know: ~~What skills you have ~~What you're interested in helping with? Once we get a little more settled, I'd like to have a page on the site for "Acknowledgements" where everyone who contributes get their name up, under whatever category they worked on (ie - graphics, game system rules and mechanics, world information and content, etc) What do you think of the site so far? ( I know it'a bare bones, but still). Do you like the set-up? Organization? Colors? One thing I do want to do is not get too graphically heavy on most pages (obviously, if we start to do maps and such there will be an area in the Resources for them)- this will keep the site from slowing down too much and will also make it easier for visitors with visual disabilities using a screen reader to access the site. Those of you who want to GM, let me know! I hope I'm not the only one! I think it would be fun to have several games going - that way, we all get a chance to play. Those of you who just want to play - that's great! Start thinking about your PC and if you don't have the GURPS books, go to the SJGames website (links on our site) and download the GURPS Lite document. It really is a very good document, and it will tell you all about those Ads, Disads and Skills up there, as well as everything else you need to know (Attributes, Combat, making dice rolls, etc.) Some of you may have noticed, while others may not - we have 25 Pop3 Email accounts that are part of the $12.95/month package. Any ideas on what (if anything) we want to do with those? I have no idea how to use them, but I'm pretty sure I can somehow set them to forward to other Emails. Meaning if I give myself one of them, I can have it forward right to my AOL Email. The message board should be up within a week. I know I'm not going to want to be the only one moderating the boards. I know the phpbb software has a way to set up "moderators" who have certain capabilities that the general members do not have (not as many as Admin - that would be me). So, is there anyone interested in doing that? I'm thinking that GM's will have to be moderators of their own particular message boards (if they are running a message-based game, or are having their PCs post character journals, etc.) but there will still be: OOC boards and FFRP boards. We also need to think about the organization of the boards. Here's some first thoughts. Main Area: FFRP Boards ~~Under here may be several boards - different locations within the city, perhaps? For example, a board for a gambling den, where people can "walk in" with their PCs and then FFRP with anyone else who "happens" to be in there? Or a board "at court" at the Palace, again where people can FFRP with others also at court? Main Area: OOC Boards ~~Under here would be boards where game announcements and recruiting would take place, rules discussions, etc. Main Area: IC Boards ~~All message-based games (whether they were strictly message-based or set up so chat game PCs could continue to role-play (FFRP) with each other outside of chat, would be under here (each game would have it's own board). Also here might be boards where PCs could have their character journals (post their thoughts after chat game sessions, etc.) Yeesh - long Email, Here are some things I think we still need on the site: World Info - culture, geography, House info, Fenarian info, etc. Weapons List - list of all weapons available, with their stats and damage. ???What else??? As for the Magic system - take a look at it, and start thinking about it. It's not finished at all, but I do think it's headed in the right direction. Come one, everyone - I can't do this all by myself!!! :-) Stacy
