Okay, very good and helpful opinions from all!! Thanks for your interest and input.

Maze & Hunter, I vote Bofra in ... if you guys agree. He has offered, seems very interested & has wonderful suggestions and seems level headed on this.

I absolutely totally agree with Fuzzy = we should make our own names for the familiar version of races, probably giving them little visual/character twists of our own.

as far as I know, the division of labor thus far is:
Mazelure = writing the story, Race creations & names
DarkHunter = Website Setup, Quests, Enchantments, Character Traits - Programming possibly
Ibis = Artwork, Modeling, Character Depiction - Programming
Bofra = Website Setup, Organizational Skills, other contributions to be decided if he joins us

I too like the idea of a roundtable structure for our company. It gives everyone equal voice & that can be very important. Also we should vote if there are any decisions we have trouble agreeing on. If is does become an even number of company members - a tie vote could be broken by posting a survey at chorrol on the point in question and getting a public opinion for the deciding vote.

I don't think we are being too ambitious. I have heard of games made by amateurs. I've even seen them reviewed or at least discussed in gamer mags. This example is a much simpler enterprise, but 2 of my friends & I posted a 3D cartoon called The Wingmer Sister (made with MW TESCS & mostly mods with my artwork added) at TheElderVaults.com & it was great fun & quite time consuming. But other than that, easy for 3 people - 1 wrote the storyline, 1 gathered the mods & was fashion consultant & I did the staging & screenshots in TESCS and then edited them with Paint & Photo Finish. I also hexed coded it into the website.

But, I think if we keep things as simple as possible & be direct in our goals = this could work. Everyone who is saying for us to brainstorm first & get the ideas out on paper & to use a website devoted to this = are absolutely correct. We certainly welcome any input from everyone here at Chorrol and will consider all suggestions.

ps- No need to worry about grammer. I am good at punctuation and spelling and as was said ... everything would be run through Microsoft Spellcheck as well.
