 Posted: Sat Jan 27, 2024 7:04 pm Post subject: After The R&R Project |
 |
|
So I have every R&R chapter in a draft. Now comes the arduous task of adding art, proofing, and fixing the little issues. I'm guessing I'm 6 months away from some sort of completion.
So my mind wanders to the next project. I have some ideas.
I've thought of a "best of"... Type books.... Focused on things like Gamemastering, Fringe, Rebellion Era, Aliens, etc..
Curious as to what the community would like to see. |

That is a truly noble task. There are so many adventures that weren't converted. I'll admit I'm not an expert at stat block conversions but I agree... Bringing those classic adventures into 2E is something we would all love. |

I've been working on the stat conversion part of it for this: First Edition Conversion Project. I've actually made some more progress than documented in that thread. I've done a lot of research lately and had some eye-opening revelations about the evolution of the skill set (and the game system in general) from 1e to 2e. I'm working on an analysis now that I will be posting when I can.

Perhaps a more productive project for me would be to create WEG style templates... It's more my strong suit than writing original works. Like a 1E, 2E and 2E R&E style word template so that creators can use them if they desire to make their project look inspired by the edition it is based on.
There is a lot more to graphic design than copying and pasting into a template, but I see soooo many amazing fan works that suffer from layout... Not the authors fault... I stink at writing and being super creative.... I just happen to do layout ok.
Maybe add a style guide akin to the WEG one, but offering helpful hints and practices for content creators that wanted to go that extra mile. |

That would be very helpful. I can create content but design and presentation are not my forte.
