Title: Where To Start
Description: with the layout that is


Red Skullz - February 1, 2006 09:05 PM (GMT)
Well as the title says, where do we actually start?
As far as I can identify we need this done:
QUOTE
1. Logo for the frontpage
- sumicus the man for it?
2. index with introduction
- who`s gonna write the introduction?
3. each section as stated in the Da Warpath Armies - Orc Pirates thread.
- fluff more or less done right?
- essential pirate conversions done right?
- special characters done
- only army list and showcase that`s incomplete but we could set it up can`t we. Or is it hard to edit it after you`ve done i`t?
4. typos
- I`m sure there still some of them left, but you who speak english as your mother language gotta do it  :lol:


A start at least, help me out here fellas :D

edit:
oh and Arfa what format do you want the pics for the showcase? Unedited and emailed straight to your emailadress? This is kinda important since we got a bunch of paint-grotz (pun intended) that will need that information when they`re done with the model(s).


edit2:
should we have a Q&A in the book, or should we reserve it for DWQ? A lot of stuff in this list needs some extra A for those who`ll read it for the first time me-thinks.

Well, I can handle the typos.

I think we've got all of the fluff, but i'll run over it again just to be sure.

And I plan on making a model for Kap'n Awkinz, which should be done and painted all in good time.

Making a special character is great. We really should have those made or do we have it already??

Regarding typos will you go over the entire list with everything not only the fluff?

WhiteLionKurgan - February 2, 2006 09:05 AM (GMT)
Now we have the final bits of fluff from Krusty, I think it's time for another version of the list: Version 5!

Should I send it to "Da Editorial Staff" :lol: or to the full play-test list?

I'm inclined to say the full list since we neeeed them to play test it!

Wadda ya fink?

Red Skullz - February 2, 2006 09:13 AM (GMT)
How about just sending them da Press Gang, Looted Stuff and the special characters?
Version 5 to the editorial staff of course :)

I think it`s time we start getting more "secretive" so that the final details are unknown to anyone outside the staff itself.

WhiteLionKurgan - February 2, 2006 09:21 AM (GMT)
Ooooh! Sneaky :ph43r:

Okay. :D


Pointy-Eared Git - February 2, 2006 09:22 AM (GMT)
I say we stop sending and start linking myself, uploading to webspace and placing the things here. Easier that way.

This is also my belief for the pictures, we upload them to space and then post them here in regards to how theyre to be used. What do you guys think?

Arfa da Grate

Red Skullz - February 2, 2006 09:24 AM (GMT)
Sounds reasonable. I need to take new pics though..
K can you PM sumicus and hear if he wants to do the logo or can you make it Arfa?

edi: shall we make a showcase summary here then?

Yes, definately make a showcase summary here :)

I was going to ask Sumicus to make "Guild Flags", so if Arfa can do a full logo that would be cool. Something like this maybe?

WhiteLionKurgan - February 2, 2006 09:53 AM (GMT)
:P

Added 'em!

Pointy-Eared Git - February 2, 2006 10:46 AM (GMT)
Ok, I dont have the programs here to do a logo myself, and I dont have access to any of the graphic consoles due to the fact I no longer attend college, and my mates college semester hasnt started yet anyway. I always thought Sumicus would be doing something like that, although I still need to talk to my friend Rach who's sketching some stuff for us. To put things basically, Im not in a possition to be able to do anything that cant be done with ms-paint unfortunately. Now, putting things together is a different matter altogether, but the base raw materials such as photos and images I have real limits on what I can do/change. This computer is a pile of cr@p I'll say right now, and as Ive already told Kurgan it plays up a bit, at the moment Im having a tussle with Adobe Acrobat <_<. Anyway, moving on.

As for 'everyone seeing the list', thats why we only link it in this thread! We dont have to tell anyone about its existance after all, except the playtestes, who yeah we email the link.

WhiteLionKurgan - February 2, 2006 10:49 AM (GMT)
Cool, cool and cool. ^_^

I'll ask Sumicus for a logo as well then ;)

Can you sort out the hosting space Arfa? I've no clue how to! :wacko:

Red Skullz - February 2, 2006 03:46 PM (GMT)
K can you add some in-battle pics as well?
You got some and Snagafang so we need those as well me-thinks :)

Hmm. Yeah okay!

Red Skullz - February 2, 2006 03:49 PM (GMT)
Ya gotta have them where the showcase section begins ya know ;)

Red Skullz - February 3, 2006 10:25 AM (GMT)
Smiley has offered to help doing some sketches and drawings to the book. I said we where glad for the help and said that we needed more drawings of unit types and even of a sea battle if he where up for it. I haven`t had a reply yet but I guess it`ll come during the day. I`ll keep ya posted on this one.


Zorg_orc_warboss - February 7, 2006 10:21 AM (GMT)
You mentioned about a Q&A for pirate orcs.

I feel this would be great in DWQ as opposed to in the book. This also is sorta the way GW does it which will make it seem more proffessional. So someone please do up a Q&A so we can feature it!

Also so you know I'm here to make sure you gitz help us with DWQ aswell as your book! :P

P.S. could you add me to the "staff" mailing list, I would quite like to see the upgraded book as it progresses.

Q&A, hmmmm. What kind of questions? It's hard to see what needs to be said since we are so "close" to it - it all seems perfectly understandable! To an outsider it's a different matter.....

What's your e-mail address - I'll add you to the list and send you the Playtest PDF :D

Zorg_orc_warboss - February 7, 2006 10:41 AM (GMT)
I'm on the "common" list already. its mylez91@yahoo.com

Thanks.

WhiteLionKurgan - February 7, 2006 10:48 AM (GMT)
Doh!

So it is :rolleyes:
Moved to Editorial Staff now :D

We were talking about having the PDF hosted on a "Shhhh! secret" website ;) Arfa was sorting that out (I think!) I'll send Version 5.0 out by e-mail if we haven't got anything sorted on the hosting front by tomorrow. ^_^

Pointy-Eared Git - February 7, 2006 11:04 AM (GMT)
Yeah, do we heave v 5.0 yet? Ill host it once I get it.

Arfa

WhiteLionKurgan - February 7, 2006 11:21 AM (GMT)
It's on it's way to you now :D

Thanks Arfa!

Pointy-Eared Git - February 8, 2006 11:46 AM (GMT)
Okey dokey, its up!

Direct link to the list here. Right click and 'save target as' to download or just open it.

I'll post this in a thread (Ive had the idea to upload it for some time now, I even created the thread in the public forums [can some mod move it here please?] but I decided against it untill we got a private forum) and update it whenever we get a new list, deleting the old and replacing it with the new, so the first post of the threat will always be the current list. Happy everyone?

Arfa da Grate

WhiteLionKurgan - February 8, 2006 11:53 AM (GMT)
Excellent! :D Thanks Arfa!

Have you e-mailed the link to the Play-tester list yet? :)

Don't post it in the public forums though, eh? Gotta keep the last few details secret for now :ph43r:

Pointy-Eared Git - February 9, 2006 10:47 AM (GMT)
Yeah Im requesting the public thread I made to be moved here, and once it is Ill just post it in that. I havent sent it to the playtesters because I dont know their emails! Could you do it for me?

Arfa da Grate

WhiteLionKurgan - February 9, 2006 10:52 AM (GMT)
Sure :D

I'll send it now!

Edit: It's gone :)

Pointy-Eared Git - February 9, 2006 11:21 AM (GMT)
...and recieved!

As for the PDFing, I have no idea why the pics are stuffing, maybe Goofycabal will know? He does the PDFing for DWQ anyway.

Arfa da Grate

WhiteLionKurgan - February 9, 2006 11:26 AM (GMT)
I've PM'd him :D

WhiteLionKurgan - February 10, 2006 09:04 AM (GMT)
Goofy's answered. When we have the final book I'll e-mail him the Word .doc and he will PDF it from Coral, rather than using my flakey "ScanSoft PDF Create" software. :D
