Bah, sorry I missed Sat's game. I have "allegedly" been a confrontational dick for the last two weeks and was in the doghouse (aside from the usual work insanity chewing up my time). --[[User:Msallen|Msallen]]
==Urgent==
+
: It happens. If it wasn't for the multiple people confirming multiple times, if it wasn't a game *specifically designed* for Germain, and one that - in your absence - left everyone else holding their dicks, I'd be less annoyed. All things considered, I think I'm pretty cool about it. Takes a lot to miss me off during exam week. -gm
* War Room?

::Just wanted to point out that I don't have a dick. --[[User:HelenAngel|HelenAngel]] 09:23, 24 May 2011 (EDT)

: ''Addendum'': Since you're probably the only one who has a really good handle on the intrigue going on, it is incumbent upon you to look at the wave and get caught up in that department. A lot of good info got revealed last game in regards to (1) Odessan's Motivations for War; (2) Possible Intra-Factional Theives' Guild Strife, (3) The Bog Wrath's current supply woes.
 +
:: Alright, I can do some extra homework to make up for my absence. I'll call you and talk at you about it too before the next game. --[[User:Msallen|Msallen]]
 +
: In an unrelated note, the party took it very well when egg told them they could not access any of the gems or artwork he had been intrusted with because he'd sent some Geese with it all to Sherdam through one of the Thieves' Guild's smuggling routes. -gm  
 +
:: Shudder --[[User:Msallen|Msallen]]
 +
::: Well, he did say that he took precautions, but it's worth noting that - at present - the lives of several Geese, and pretty much the entire party fortune, is in Thieves' Guild hands. -gm

=== GM Approval Process? ===
+
Can we adopt the GM content approval process [http://wiki.memphisgamers.com/index.php?title=Talk:Deific_Vengeance#DM_Approved.3F I mention here]? It gives you [http://wiki.memphisgamers.com/index.php?title=Category:Pending_Approval a cool category] so you don't lose track of things needing approval, it also lets us add content without creating lonely Talk pages that might get lost. I want to add/propose more flavorful stuff (because I'm knee deep in Hero Lab), so I want to get that process denied or approved if you're okay with trying it for a bit. -[[User:Mattie|Mattie]]
+
: I don't mind you guys putting stuff up and adding the red bar, but I'm afraid people will be pretty upset if I reject something they spent a ton of time inputing. But, as a way of doing things it's not terrible, it's clear enough. although I'm not sure it's technically better than putting things on the talk page. Now, for future reference, when we get to the point we're creating protocols and procedures for submission, etc. is the day I step down and let someone else take over.
+
: Also, I'm not going to be super thrilled seeing 500 new spells and feats appear on the wiki, which is one of my fears. I've tried to introduce new concepts, rules, spells, and feats at a slow and measured pace, and have only included about 1% of what I've skimmed from my old Dragons. This isn't just because I'm lazy, although I am, but also because every new add brings with it all kinds of baggage. Rules Creep is a *huge* problem for D&D in general, and to play-efficiency and balance in particular and Outside Sources have *always* been a tremendous pain in the ass for DMs, especially considering what PLAYERS look for from outside content is far different than what GMs look for.
+
: So, TL;DR, feel free to post all the content you want. I am going to drag my feet on approving it, but some of it will be approved, although most of it will be rejected outright and my response to argument will be "Court of Last Resort," aka "I'm not arguing about this." -gm
+
:: I definitely didn't have a plan to propose lots of stuff, but I do get curious at times about what your world's rule scope is. Only you know that, and to be sure stuff doesn't get lost I wanted to provide an organization mechanism (because I'm an engineer and we do that). I won't sweat it, though. Thanks for your response during a busy week. Obviously, any GM ruling is final-- in fact I'm surprised you give as much explanation as you have at times. In my mind no DM justification is needed, though it certainly helps us avoid more silly questions down the line. Thanks again. -[[User:Mattie|Mattie]]
+
::: Heh, well, this seemed like relatively little work to respond to - unlike creating a ton of content, which is the stuff I'm really punting on. I think it's good you brought the subject up, as with more people contributing to the wiki (good thing!) some sort of standardization process is good since at some point everyone can't possibly keep up with what everyone else is doing. I think the red banner is good, arresting enough not to be unnoticed, and perfectly acceptable. I just wanted to add some explanation as to what and when and why vis a vis the introduction of more crunchiness into the game, because if I didn't I'd wake up tomorrow and you'd have put fifteen compendiums worth of stuff on here! ;) But, yeah, I was just worried that the question was less hypothetical and more "maaaaan, do I have a shit ton of stuff I can't wait to throw up!" and so wanted to set some expectations. I wrote that at work so it may have come of short? -gm
+
::: What do you mean, btw, by "world's rule scope" and maybe I can give more guidance.
+
:::: I also really DO think the category is awesomely helpful, whether the tag ends up on the talk or main pages of the article. -gm

There's a large pile of ungenerated scrolls in the MeFight Bag of Holding that will eventually need to be genned up. -[[User:Slitherrr|Slitherrr]]
 
: Any idea where they came from? I might have it in the notes somewhere.... I know there was a spellbook from the gnome guy.

If you get time, please check out the long spell discussion over at [[Talk:Deific Vengeance]] before the next Silverwalker game. Depending on your thoughts on that spell, I may also seek approval for one or more of the other spells listed there (especially Cloud of Daggers from PHB2).
