T5 Writer's Guide?

[yamsi3467]

Good Morning,

I have my final T5 CD-ROM, and I recall on the private access forum (for Beta Testers) there was a draft of a Writer's Guide for T5. Are we going to have a final version of that eventually? I would like to get into writing adventures, supplements, etc., if possible.

That's a Don question, who has a draft...

 

[DonM]

It's on my list of things to finalize after the T5 errata.

So the answer is yes...

Don, don't think of your T5 to-do list as too long, think of it as a measure of how much you are needed.

Or how much trouble he wants to stir up.

Seriously tho, Don likes organization, and he asks to do these sorts of things. It's scary to watch.

DonM's archivist timeline and other works are amazing...even to an old timer.


Yes. A writers guide would be cool.

With all my thanks and deepest respect!

Errata, Writers Guides etc are serious matter of interest and value!

Éli,

Perhaps, but we still love him for it.

progress

Any progress on this? With a larger number of enthusiasts right now we could see an extensive number of products.

Will a 600 page rule book have a 300 page SRD?

 

[robject]

And a 100 page index, for a total of 1,000 pages?

draft

Perhaps someone could just send out the draft version to those that are curious. Like me.

Ok...

If you want to help review the early draft of the T5 Writer's Guide (which is actually envisioned as simply a Traveller Writer's Guide, for ANY edition of the game, although it's odd for the Lorenverse since it uses Imperial measurements), you can if... you are willing to help.

You need to send an e-mail to me (don.mckinney@gmail.com) with the following:

Three items you feel MUST be in an "any edition" Traveller Writer's Guide, and one item you believe has NO place in such a document, and you must promise to give feedback in the document (and perhaps other items I need random comments on for Marc from time to time). I already have a group of people I do this with, if you are in that group, don't apply -- you are already on the victim's list.

Any requests for the document without the four items requested above and the agreement to provide feedback will be routed to the Bwap desk for proper filing.

canon

Current draft sent to all requesting who responded properly.
Thanks to all of you!

Canon is the primary thing i saw missing. I've read it but will review again to see if I can make suggestions. The Wiki overview of Canon is good.
