homebrew forum..

[Arjan]

Is it perhaps a good idea to create a special homebrew forum. just to ask for feedback or post your possible ideas?

that way we seperate original stuff from homemade content, and we dont get any confusion between the two.

You could convert the forum for Aduria into a homebrew/outside Cerilia setting.

I do think that a forum specifically for posting new material would be a good idea.

well i didnt want to touch the aduria forum. since it deserves "special treatment" imo.

but the neverwinterBR forum ia for example almost dead..

Yes, that one could be changed to a homebrew forum instead, I think it is unlikely that any BR modules for Neverwinter nights will be posted now...

Arjan I agree the homebrew forum is a great idea. It will help people stay focused on the questions being asked and not necessarily trying to put everything into BRCS perspective, which is something I thing we all have been falling into the last 2 years.

I also like the play-by-post concept forum for hosting games.

Done.. up and running already

What exacly do you mean by this, a support forum for PBEm? or a PBEm running on BRnet self?

I don`t know...isn`t everything (or most of it) posted on BR.net

homebrew?



Gary`s awnsheghlien and little diseases, my new gods and domains etc.,

are certainly homebrew. I`d say that much(most of the BRCS is equally

much homebrew.



What about just havign a forum for rules-stuff and one for

campaign-stuff, and maybe a separate forum for the BRCS as well?

well imo home made stuff is very different from questions and discussions of the original published stuff.

homebrew are spin offs, adjustments or add ons etc..
But a seperate homebrew forum will hopefully help people not to rant at eachother because things might or might not be very BR-ish. just to keep it appart from the original information.

perhaps the 20 BRCS forum could be renamed to the "rules" forum, it is kinda that already

What I meant was a separate section for things like master_guelfi
's game he tried to start under the Bard's Tale section.

Check out alternity.net or tequilastarrise.net to see the type of format I'm refering to.

Basically it would be a section where play-by-post games (or even PBEM) could be hosted.

I'd be careful about dubbing the d20 Playtest section a rules section. There is also a call for a 2nd ed rules section - many people still play 2nd ed rules and it would help if they had a place to go without getting into confusion over what edition we are talking about.

ok, i have taken a look at the two play-by-post forums. although i dont understand a thing about it, i can ofcourse create one.

and ofcourse i can create more forums, but i want to be becareful not to repeat the amount of forums we used to have. and especially since i can only post mailinglist messages to one forum. thus very hard to seperate the general from 2nd ed or even 3e posts. unless there would be some volunteers that want to moderate the forums?!?!

my sugestion is to merge the official announcements with the anouncements discussions

turn the bards tale into a playby post forum.
the play-bypost forum will not be ported to the mailinglist.
