I have tried to work on Big Projects before and
although everyone's keen initially, it very quickly
dies away under a clash of egos. If I'm going to
invest my free time (which is currently divvied
between art assignments, writing a novel, and writing
an RPG) I want a result which will be worth the time I
spend.

If new players to UA producer their own stuff that's
cool, why not pat them on the back in an unpatronising
way by producing a PDF with their stuff? That'll
encourage new gamers - or people who wish to purchase
more UA books.

I'm in agrrement with you, Liam, but I want to test it
out first and once it works we can all buckle down and
write something big. Like the next UA book.

Why put your foot down and say what you'd like to see
done up for UA.

I can see the need for a street-level based campaign,
but wh is going to fork out the time for that?

You as well.

Cheers,

Chris.
