Tony - Bit of both actually. The groups of people I role play with do contribute, some directly on the site, others from ideas and sometimes furious and funny debate on how the world should be. We also appreciate "outside" contibution, which is to say people like you, Bjorn Stollen etc who would like to add something to the community without having to go and set up their own site. Of course, being a community thing, its really up to the individuial and contributors text is usually put into Guest Articles under their name. However we would really love some sort of ideas eforGaea and could always cross reference such articles from Guest Articles to our Gaea section.

Tony - Excellent! Wish I could be more active, but work takes its toll on my time. Sometimes I long for the days of being in a more junior post and being able to update my site during lunch break:) However, it is end of year and my work at least is slow, so standby for the odd article or comment.

Tony - Ha ha, as well as can be expected I suppose. At the moment I am actually rehashing/editing a bit of a background article on the Knights of Draldeath. One of those funny iodisincracies (sp) of Gaea is there are knights, but they are rare and have a wierd take on life. Hope my finished product kind of explains adequatly how knight orders can exist in a bronze/iron age type setting.
Hmm, encounter tables, someone on the Role Playing Tips e-zine submitted a number of Benin urban and rural encounters lists - as some nice ideas.

Tony - You are most welcome. In fact only the three continents marked on the world map have been detailed at all. Likesay, I do have some ideas for the other lands though, so maybe discuss any ideas you may have first. then again, stand alone plug ins also work well:)

Tony - Ja, RQIII has orcs in the cratures section. One of those moves to make it stand alone from Glroantha at the time. They are however the Tolkein, degenerate elf types. As a person who never had time for elves and felt the orcs always got a bum deal, I have taken it on my shoulders to try and rectify this with a (I hope) well thought out, details culture, history, physiology etc. I have my doubts it will be at the level of Mary Gentle, Stan Nicholls et al, but it would be nice if it got a nod from the average orc lover:) Check out the orc write up in creatures for an idea of where i am hoping to go.
I would love to start collecting the MRQ stuff, but right now its just too expensive. Took me forever to complete my RQIII collection, mostly thanks to eBay.
