We've got a mostly finished mini-supplement for Rogues and the like called the Lure of Gold by Lance Meibos (Lyrax if you remember). Anybody want to finish it? He's not going to be able to for about 2 years still...

So that people can make an educated judgement, what would be required?
Is it mostly editing?
Is ther much new material needed, and of what sort?
Also feel free to answer other relevant questions I can't think of. :)

I'm tempted... but saying yes would probably be a mistake.  Sorry.

I've got two months of summer holiday, but I'd like to know the same things as Darren first.

Lyrax, er Lance, er now "Elder Meibos" is serving a full-time Church mission currently, during which you're a lot like a franciscan monk without free time or cool robes. He won't be available till it's over.

Required? Editing and a little bit of finishing off anything that's undone, which isn't much. It's a week's worth of casual work.

I'd jump at the chance, but I have a project I am involved with which ends on the 24th of June. In the unlikely event no-one has volunteered by then, count me in.

Much as I'd love to see it finished, I'm well acquainted with my ability to devote myself to a project... I can do it, but dedication waxes and wanes a great deal.

Perhaps Morfedel would be interested, seeing as how it would address both the skills of Herbalism (for poisoning) and Traps (as in the booby variety)?

Actually I DID A BIT OF WORK ON THATwith lance back in the day, an DAMMIT!!!what is with my caps and this board, it only happens here. Can you guys toss me any hints?

Anyways, before my keyboard went berzerk, I did work on lure with lanceand would be willing to finish it up. Lance also emails me weekly and that could help.

pm me about that, and I wont need the books for that con, things were so uncoordinated with it that I didnt feel like shelling out the cash and the time for nothing. Pm me about that if you have questions.

My guess is probably wrong if it only happens here, but it looks to me like you have a sticky shift key. Does it always start after you use the shift (as with the "I" above) ?

I'd be glad to take a stab at it, so to speak.

Hmm.  I'd likely be willing to take a go at it (in my not so copious free time).  I've been working on a book on telecom regulation that I just sent off to the publisher but my evenings are a bit freer until the galleys come back.

E-mail me at ashampine@msn.com if you want to talk more about it.

Jake, important question:  What kind of end product are you looking at here?  Freeware?  Economically minded PDF?  Tome of great power and infinite madness?

Jake:

I'd be happy to work on it, or aid others. I am an "Experiended" writer - I have a fantasy novel that is on its second draft, and hopefully will be in front of an agent by xmas, and I am also a 20+ year game veteran, as well as working on my own game system (like everyone else in the universe).

Anyway, if you haven't already found someone, and want to give me a shot, let me know. Here is some contact information:

Let me know if you are interested.

Since there are many willing helping hands, I'll rescind my own offer.  I'm busy enough that I'd rather not do it if someone else is willing and capable.

On a different note, I've got a player who wants to start a thief.  Any chance of getting an advance copy?
