Hey,
I'm new to FG, in fact i haven't even managed to play my first game yet. However, as a D&D player (as well as numerous other RPGs) spanning back longer than i would care to recall, I have had a few thoughts.
Being new to all this, I can't help but notice a certain lack of resources for newbies, such as ready to run adventures - so that people can get a feel for running and playing games before having to create there own stuff.
Now since people here are pretty concerned about copyrights and other such law-abiding practices, I was wondering why FG hasn't started a module competition/rating system to encourage designers to submit their own original work for the use of the community.
As much 'fun' as converting pre-made modules into computer-based adventures I'm sure can be - the art of conceiving, designing and crafting original material is surely what being a DM is all about.
I propose that we create an environment that rewards the originality, creativity and generosity of the role playing community that we are a part of (not to mention the competitiveness of all us 'players of games').
Anyway, how about it?
