Calling the Company of the Maiden! - Rafael - 12-26-2009

You got mail,

and I want some opinions!

Merry Christmas,

Good work! Thanks!

Do you want the feedback posted here or by email?


I like details like Castle Arnesia Smile How much does the Wilderlands connection affect the situation in Blackmoor if at all?

Smile Here, if you like.

Also, feel free to add stuff as you want it.

Plus, I am working over RttPL, and I think we will rather have to publish it as serials than as one single book. Much work involved.

Later, maybe we can do a compilation.

But as it is, it's an editing work of a year, if you really do it right.

We need some help, definitely... Confusedhock: Confusedhock: Confusedhock:

I think serials is the way to go for various reasons. My experience is that massive, complete fan works recieve very little feedback. Smaller pdfs increase the chance of people actually reading them. Also, this means we can have more frequent announcements on the forum, my blog etc to create more activity Smile

That was part of my reasoning, too.

Plus, I just can't edit a 400++ pages book in English at this point.
Real life needs some attention, too.

But...

We need a brand name.

We have the Grim Winter, The Road to the Promised Land, The Promised Land, The Company of the Maiden, The Maiden's Age.

But we need something catchy, something that is easy to remember, AND connected to Blackmoor.

We must label our publishing entity.

"Knights of Blackmoor"?

Is that your or Rob Conley's creation?

Not at all; I just like it as a backdrop for ideas, and to tie up some loose ends.

I have read through the timeline and it looks pretty good. The overall flow spread out over a longer time is more reasonable. And we finally learn that Mordred's last name is Aleford, that was one of my unanswered questions. The fall of Vestfold is a new story, unless I missed it. Rafael, are you writing that one up?

One little detail is incorrect, the "Carrion Incident" took place in Williamsfort, which was subsequently recovered (not in Newgate as you have it in the timeline). Or are you planning to alter that part of Sven's story a bit?

I didn't write that out?! - Noooooooooooooooooooo!

Errh, yeah, was all part of the plan.

PL Episode I, Chapter I.

Sorry. Fixing that.

Seeing as I am not very knowledgeable about Blackmoor, all I can say is that I am impressed the work you put into the timeline, Raf! I did notice some of the Thracia parts which is nice Wink Apart from that, whatever you decide to put in it is fine by me!
