Poll Question:
Fellow FR scribes, loremasters and enthusiasts, what do you think about this, also I'm asking how much of the book should be homebrew, and how much from official sources, we're trying not to break any © rules (considering your great experience with Candlekeep Compendiums)?
What are your opinions?

I was tempted to choose the 'I don't care about "tree-huggers"' option being a half-orcan brute n all  but then I noticed the bigger image of this product - no more flippin through cart loads of books for some info on elves - just one book containing all I need.
Good luck and the blessing of the Seldarin!
I would like to help but I do not have time or the proper knowledge of elves, so I leave this to the willing and knowledgeable out there, and I am sure there are more than a few.
Make sure to let me know how you fare.

Races of Faerūn doesn't forget the Star Elves. The Star Elves were invented after that tome was printed. |

There's a brief bit in Corellon's entry of Demihuman Deities. Though, aside from that, I don't immediately recall too much detail being published for the Communion. |

-On the actual celebrations and services and whatnot, there is nothing written that I know of. So, concerning this, you are on your own.
-But, whatever you do, let me know, and I'll see if I can incorporate it into things, since there is a big 'ol gap in information here, and one of the goals, asides for compiling as much as possible, is to fill in gaps. |

To add my two cents - this offers you the unique opportunity to add to the body of 'unofficial' FR lore, Maruluthu.
You figure out all the details, and then post them here, and whatever you come up with gets added to the Netbook project - its a win-win situation. |

I'd like to see a LOT of it canonized (and not just because I contributed).
If they take stuff like this, and the CkC's (and a couple of other peoples Netbooks around here), they could have a lot of their work done for them, allow part of the fanbase to actively contribute to the setting (as the RPGA were), and also toss a little money our way for our efforts (not much - it wouldn't even have to be 'the going rate' - more like a token of their appreciation).
Unlike what was going on with the RPGA, they could pick and choose what they want - single-out specific articles (or entire netbooks), and either give the author directives on what needs to be 'fixed', or do the re-writes themselves (giving 'based on' credit to the original author).
The sponsorship models appears to work (people pay to contribute!  ), and if they take something like that, and make it more accessible (like I said, don't charge, but also don't necessarily give anything away, either), I think this would be a win-win. In fact, they have already done this on a smaller scale, with Brian and others (harvesting both scribes and lore from us).
And more contests like Eriks - that's pure win. Paizo (not to keep bringing them up, but their business model seems to be working) does this. Instead of 'customers', they have established more of a 'co-contributors' relationship with their fans.
Anyhow, there were quite a few projects going on over at the WotC boards, and it would be a damn shame to just let all of that go to waste. I know I wouldn't mind doing an Utter East netbook (finally!) if I had a little incentive. The research part of it is all done (and fortunately still there, on the web, and not on my burned-up hard drive. |
