Dec 15, 2003 17:58:22 Perhaps this isn't the right place to do this, but I couldn't find any other way to contact the folks at Planewalker.com.

Just curious if you guys have any need of people for writing, editing, playtesting, etc. I'm sure you get this stuff all the time (or at least I hope you do! the work so far is great!), but perhaps not everyone has my credentials (not to sound like my ego is too awfully overinflated):

soon to be English Graduate from UConn

took (and passed even!) courses in Publishing, Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Celtic/Norse Mythology

Currently own a large majority of the Planescape products...still working on the Blood War, Planes of Chaos, and Planes of Conflict boxed sets, and trying to expand my Blood Wars card collection

own Manual of the Planes and the 3.5 edition books, and have been running a 3.0 to 3.5 campaign for over 2 years, as well as playing in various 3.0 and 3.5 campaigns.

My current goal as a soon-to-be graduate is to get into publishing, editing, writing, game development and so on.

If interested, feel free to respond to this or send an email to [email]timbannock@hotmail.com[/email]

If you are not from Planewalker.com, but have similar interests or are in need of such services, also feel free to write me. Thanks!

Dec 15, 2003 18:35:04 Well, I'm one of the writers on the PS3e team, and seemingly one of those more active at least here on the WotC boards. I'll grab the ear of one of the organizers and have them respond here, or to you via email. I try to do that when someone expresses some interest. :D

And hmmm, English background. Well heck you got 'me' beat there, as well as some others of us writing for the project. As seems to so often be the case, the 'net population tends to have its deck stacked with regards for computer science people. The writers at PW it seems are no exception. Then there's me the oddball doing grad research in molecular biology.

Lets just say you might have the leg up on a few of us in terms of writing clarity and grammer. (Grammer hits me like a freight train during editing). ;)

Dec 15, 2003 19:06:37 With time, you guys might start seeing me over at Planewalker as a new coder. I'm just patiently waiting on final word from the Moogle.

*wait wait wait*

In the meantime, I'll go amuse myself with some Balance projects for a while.

I bet spelleng does, too. Actually you were probably just dictating to one of your lackies, and he or she fouled it up. Why would you soil your lovely hands by touching a filthy machine?

Dec 16, 2003 9:46:05 That's harsh, Bleaker, but good call. Shemeska, have you heard about the next chapter release date? I helped with writing for the faction section, but since that's been posted for downloading, I've only heard a few whisperings from the planewalker crew. I just want to make sure things aren't slowing down...

Dec 16, 2003 10:44:24 Umm, when I'm done revising the next section to be released?

*grin* I should have it finished and handed over for either additional editing, or for posting sometime later this evening. Thats the good thing about exams being over, I can sit on my petite 'loth butt and do little else but write. :D

Once it leaves my hands in revised form I dunno how long a wait there'll be before it goes up on the website.

Also, outside of the stuff I'm personally working on I can't claim to have a super precise idea of some of the other things being worked on. Don't give me too much credit as an insider here when my own contribution has yet to be released, unlike Mephit James who actually has had some of his put up in the faction material.

I'm beginning to think that most of the contributors to ps3e, like yourself and and mine, are puppets on strings on a need-to-know basis. Kind of dramatic but sodding frustrating as all Nine Hells. Well, I guess we should be welcome to have all the bare essentials up in a timely matter, and the fact that your contributing to the big picture (even if you don't know what that big picture is) assures me it'll get done given time. And, I guess, also a hundred monkeys with a hundred typewriters ...

Well, I wouldn't quite say that... there's some things I just don't mention here on the boards along the lines of what's planned in some areas.
I'm just not an organizer by any means at all. I write whats handed to me and don't complain, but I've been privy to a good deal of the brainstorming on modules, plots, etc. So I've got a decent picture of what might be in the works.

And to tell the truth, it's been hard to comment on some things here when kernels and nuggets of any idea here might ever so slightly touch upon something that may be expanded in PS3e. ;)

Dec 22, 2003 23:44:43 Oh Shemeska, the humbleness act shows through far too clearly. I'm well aware of the agents you've placed among the Upper Echelon. Why at times I wonder whether I'm running the show or whether you just let me think I am.

Dec 23, 2003 0:54:42 And this is why Arcanaloths are either the best, or the worst when it comes to public relations. *wide grin*

You're running the show on Planewalker and The Lady is running the show in Sigil. Neither of those are changing by anything I do. Of course, this makes me wonder who gets cast in the role of Colcook in such things. *pokes Clueless*

*getting run ragged by a slow net connection over the holidays, and no connection to speak of after Xmas day. The planes conspire against me. This Santa Claus... he's either one of those sodding Ursinals or one of those most hated, vile, Shator Gehreleths...*
