Pisces
is a collaborative project. Without the help of as many people as
possible,
Pisces
will never get as detailed as we would like it to become. So how can you
contribute to
Pisces?
Most of the development of Pisces happens on the
Messageboards
- so the first step is to go there and read some of the messages. If you
have suggestions, post them! Eventually, you might decide to develop a
region or specific region or aspect of your setting on your own. We all
welcome additional contributors! Contact the
Project Coordinator with
the basic outline of your proposal. If he accepts it, welcome aboard!
Now you can start writing your contribution in earnest.
It is important to frequently post excerpts and
updates on your manuscript to the messageboards, and ask the Pisces
community for opinion. This isn't done to make your life difficult - we
strive for internal consistency with Pisces, and we have to make sure
that nothing contradicts other, previous material. Nonetheless, you will
probably find us quite accomodating. And who knows, perhaps the
community will come up with ideas you never imagined, but which are too
cool not to use!
If you feel your individual contribution is
complete, send it to the
Project
Coordinator. He will put it on the Final Approval forum, where the
Pisces Community will get a last look at it and possibly make some last
suggestions for improvements. If it meets general approval, it will be
put on the website at the next opportunity.
If you later want to change parts of your
contributions, also mail them to the
Project
Coordinator, who will submit the changes for general approval as
well.
Don't be intimidated by this process - it merely
exists to ensure that your completed contribution will be as good as
possible. This process is similar to the playtesting done by Pyramid
Magazine - and most other RPG publishers. In almost all cases,
playtesting has helped making a good manuscript even better - and we
hope to do the same for you!
