Umm now im confused I have a strange E-Mail from the Mailer Deamon title failer delivery. I sent it to sixofspades@Yahoo.com but it says that no such address exists on Yahoo, I do have the right address dont I?

How about a Lord of the Rings type character. Gandalf, Legolas, Aragorn or Gimli would all be great. May have to mod them a bit to fit D&D standards but could definatly be an interesting addition.

Originally posted by Daniel: I've been thinking over the last few days I've had a lot of E-Mails offering help and advice on this little project I've undertaken. Mainly from people who would like to make there own mods but for some reason or other are unable to do it either due to lack of time, resources, knowledge or other factors. I was wondering if anybody would be interested in making a little group mod where we all chip in and help with the progress? I mean you don't have to have lots of spare time or a super computer you don't even have to know how to edit games, any contribution no matter how small would be fine, be it a few storyline ideas or a couple of items, every little helps. Between the skills of everyone Im sure we could pull somthing half decent out. Well tell me what you think and if you would be interested, if not no biggie

If anyone has a livejournal account and has a spare LJ Code lying around, if they're willing to give you (Daniel) the code, you could start your own Journal, and then within a week you could start a Community Journal.

The only problem with this suggestion is that everyone would have to get a Live Journal to post in it under their own identity. That means people would need more codes...and I myself would give you a code if I had any...(If you're a free user, you only get one if you've had a Live Journal for over a week)

I could always see if I can make a Yahoo! Group for all of us if you want.

I did it:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BGMods/

Daniel, do you want to make up the rules, or someone else in mind?

Everyone else, to join you need an e-mail address and you need to subscribe to Yahoo! Groups (For Free).

I also suggest that once you join the group, put the messages either on Daily Digest, or special announcements if you don't want e-mail at all and just want to go and visit once in a while to see what's up.

Other than that...I don't know what else to say...

Close, but no cigar. We were both off by one letter. I'm actually sixOspades@yahoo.com, there's no "F" in there. I wanted to be SixOFspades, of course, but oddly enough the name was taken when I first signed up years ago.

Anyway, Daniel, the Thieves are on their way. There are 5 of them: 2 Good, 2 Evil, 1 Neutral. They can all be made into a "Single NPC" MOD such as the Kelsey MOD, except for Fox: Fox is part of a much larger quest, which is why his Starting Location is "Forest of Macken 1."

I'll take a look at that Yahoo Groups thing.....but frankly, I don't think much of the way they organize their forums--I much prefer Ironwork's style of doing it. Is there a way we could make our own little mini-forum? It wouldn't take up much space. Unfortunately, I can't contribute any more than ideas, but we each do what we can. Shame, as I'm actually a decent programmer.

Whatever we do, I think it'd be a good plan to include Sazerac: He seems to be about halfway through his Pace MOD, so his would be the voice of experience--not to mention keeping us from accidentally copying something he's already done.

They have already been done (lots of times) I am trying to keep this fairly original. But nice suggestion none the less.

Sorry Im unfamiliar with this Live Journal, what is it?. As for the Yahoo group it sounds like an interesting Idea It would certainly be a good way to get people other than IW members to join up, but I my self have no experience of Yahoo groups its all new to me, but I would be willing to explore the possibility.

Sounds good I'll go and check it out after I finish this post. As for making rules I am really not too fussy, as long as people are serious about this and do not use this as a way of messing about and causing trouble then Im happy. If you would like to make some rules then be my guest, you created the group after all

Well that explains it lol I'll send the message again, as for the forum idea it sounds good but unfortunalty its not somthing I could do I recently attempted a guest book but to disasterous effects and a forum is a wee bit more complicated, if anyone could offer any help then prehaps it could happen. As for programming, the college course I have just finished was a programming course lol guess we have a lot in common. Finally as for Sazerac, if he wishes to join then by all means he's welcome as I said everyone is welcome so long as they take it seriously and not as an excuse to mess about.

JERR I just checked out that yahoo group you set up, there are some nice features on it, that could prove quite useful if this thing ever takes off, things such as the files section where members will be able to upload and transfer big files with each other. Also the picture section could be used to upload screens shots etc to show the progress of mods in production.

On the downside I agree with Sixofspades, I don't really like the way its all set out. If lots of members joined then going through posts could get tedious at times, a forum like Ironworks could work better. Well apart from that I like it, and think its definately worth giving it a chance and seeing how it go's.

Bump!
