I mentioned this on the front page, but I think we should really get this going again. I feel like there are enough active settings and enough active readers and members visiting the forums to make this a good idea. Plus, winter is starting (in the Northern Hemisphere at least), which usually means lots of long, dark hours to while away on settings.

Anyone interested?

Note: For those of you who may not have been around when the first Consultant Project happened, it was basically a deal between two people, each working on active settings, to critique, read, and comment on each others work as much as possible, so the dreaded "dead thread" doesn't happen. Plus, we all know its nice to hear what people have to say about our campaigns.

Not a bad idea, definitely. Let's see if people join in.
That guy who invents 1,000 campaign settings a second and never finishes a single one.

I'd be happy to do mechanical consulting where needed. I may be picking work on my own system back up too.

I'd be interested in partnering up on OverUnder...there are not any mechanics per say...more of a creative exercise so mostly it would be content critique.
EDIT: Also there is so much content on thecbg that it's hard for me to really let any material soak in. This could be good and give me some focus for critiquing others work.

I'm totally down for this, though if you have a big setting odds are I'm going to have a huge problem wrapping my brain around it - however, I'll happily try!

I could get behind this, though I won't be posting a lot. If I were involved with someone else this way, I might put a little more work into a setting. I'll sit back and see how many people want to be involved, first.

So where did the name "Mare Eternus" come from?

As for me, i'll provide help wherever i can.  If anyone wants me as a partner I'll do my best, but a big school thing is coming after Christmas, so i won't have as much time for the next year (which is good).

It's latin. Mare (Mah-reh) translates as sea/ocean and Eternus (Etur-Nus) translates as Infinite/Eternal. So roughly speaking the Sea of Eternity/Infinite Ocean/Etc.

Get BV going so I can do something! (also, check out the Arga Glossary. Good idea?)

EDIT: I've also posted something on the Pellanosi and Scylla, the King of Knaves on the Arga thread.

Yeah, it's tough to jump into a well-developed setting, but thats one of things the Project tries to solve: getting people into settings that are otherwise daunting.

That's also why I'd feel a little weird involved. I'd basically be posting a setting from the beginning and I wouldn't be likely to post a lot.

I don't know that I've got a lot to post, but I'd be down for some reading and some dialogue about it.
