Nominate Some Nitpickers
« on: February 08, 2011, 06:15:05 PM »
Hey, folks --

We could use some volunteer rules-nitpickers to look over our next free one-shot adventure before it goes public.

Here's the catch, though: you can't volunteer yourself. So I'm looking for folks who reply to this thread to nominate (and second/third/etc) other forum members that they recognize as having a deep understanding of the rules and a good eye for detail. I'd like to pick about half a dozen folks from the nominees when it's all said and done to take an early look at the adventure & send us feedback & corrections on the stats.

So: who's your favorite "nitpicker" from around these parts?

I guess I will start.

I am going to be fair and nominate both people I agree with and tend not to agree with, but all of whom tend to know what they are talking about.

Drachasor
crusher_bob
Moriden
Shecky
MijRai

I would suggest:

Mal Luck
KOFFEYKID
HobbitGuy1420

Mal and KOFFEY know the rules well, and Hobbit has a good head for flavor. They have the idea behind making their own powers pretty well too.

Not to form a mutual admiration society, but I have to second

Mal Luck,
Devonapple &
MijRai,

all three of whom I've bounced ideas off in the past in Chat.  They've got good heads on their shoulders.

Edit:  Can't believe I forgot Sanctaphrax!  If anyone deserves to be nitpicking, he does.

Nominate/Second these guys:

Sanctaphrax
MijRai
HobbitGuy1420
KOFFEYKID
Ala Alba
Amelia Crane

Hobb has been in several games and made a couple decent original concepts. Koffey has ran a game or two off site and is very knowledgeable, Mij makes pretty good builds (though he can be stubborn ;) ), Sancta works his ass off making sample NPCs. Ala is a fantastic writer in my opinion and good a build making. Amelia is GM of the Miami game and also a great builder of characters.

Yeah, please take my name out of there (thanks for the nomination anyway, BB). I still haven't studied the rules enough to consider myself truly well-versed; what commentary I offer is 1) focused more on external consistency and 2) usually tied in to the novels' text. But I've seen plenty of folks nominated already who obviously know the rules inside and out. It's a good pool, Fred.

Hey folks,

Keep 'em coming, but we think we're going to need to do another pass before I can hand stuff over to a nitpicker squad to dig deep (it ain't to our standard yet), so we're looking at a few weeks out, I think.
