Being newer to the list, I tried to go back with the list commands and read past emails. While things are slow right now, there were thousands of emails going back quite a few years. Not the best way to organize a project, and I wasn't about to try and wrap my head around it!

A few thoughts, I would love to hear people's opinions.

- I would seriously consider using the d20 Open Game License from Wizards of the Coast. Yes, the folks that bought TSR and currently own D&D. I believe they have a great system with many years of playtesting behind it.

- With the above, I would suggest a review of naming every element of the game something fantasy related. For example, I have no intention of telling my players to "Roll the Shadow Stone." That probably sounded cool once, but is really extra fluff. This and a handful of other terms might not be needed.

- If version 2 were to come out, I think offering a free PDF download with a modest print on demand in both soft and hard covers is the right way to go.

- Between now and version 2 coming out, there needs to be an official DragonRaid channel on Youtube and an active twitter user. Not to spam the world that we exist, but to engage the world. Not to engage is flame wars and debates, but to explain who we are and why we do what we do. I for one, not having played the game yet, would benefit from some youtube videos on gameplay. The audio intro is great for it's time BTW, the original game designers were really on the ball when they made this game.

Just a few points from the new guy...
