When I was first looking at starting this list, a few of you extended
an offer to help in whatever way you could Well, here I am with a call
to arms.

We're seeing the number of list members approach a decent level
(double digits, anyways). I've also posted an anouncement about the
list on a few RPG and TCG newsgroups, so we may see a few new faces
show up from that.

Anyways, I'm putting together a page at my site for the SRTCG and
namely the mailing list. This will also be the home for our FAQ,
except that there is no FAQ in existence yet.

A couple of times now I've sat down to start on a fledgling FAQ of one
sort or another but nothing is coming of it. This is mainly due to one
thing...TIME...I don't have enough of it.

I'm able to spend alot of time online and accessing email because I
have direct T1 access during the 8-hour shift I'm at work. This is
also where I've been trying to get the FAQ started, but it's hard to
keep a constant line of thought going in between tech support calls
(you may have also noticed some of this is missed spelling and grammar
errors in my posts. :o)

Outside of work I'm lucky to grab a half hour or more at my personal
computer. A wife, a baby and a regular S/R game suck up most of what's
left of my time.

Enough rambling, what I want to ask is if someone(s) would like to
help put together the basics of our FAQ. I've been trying to resist
the urge to just cut and paste, or otherwise canabalize, the ShadowRN
FAQ. Maybe we can kick around the basics of what should go into ours,
then if some kind soul could mold and shape that into a basic
structure I could put the finishing touches to it when I get it posted.

I could still get around to it myself, but it may take a while. :o)

Thanx guys!

I would be willing to help out here. I have some time to spare and
would be willing to compile whatever we kick around here.

Cool!

I've deputized Lady Jestyr as Asst. Fearless Leader of this list.
She's said that she'd help head up the FAQ project, so if you could
work in conjunction with her that'd be snazzy. :o)

Comments, suggestions and so forth on what you guys feel needs to be
in the FAQ? I know most of us are mailing list veterans.

Ask me again after I finish moving! <grin>
Of course, if you were to help me move... I'd have to help for certain.

(seriously, tho, I'll help with it as soon as I finish moving.)

(If I ever finish moving... ARGH!)

;)

Because this just came earlier tonight (this morning ?), I think
that anytime anyone posts a have/want list they must include their name
in the subject line. Failure to do so should result in a good thwapping
at least.
I am going to peruse all of the other list FAQ's I have to make sure
we hit everything. If we're going to do it, let's do it right. :)

Good point. That should definitely go in the FAQ.

Punchy? Is this a good or a bad thing? (Sheesh... American slang...)

<looks at Dvixy running for the stairs> Oi! It MUST be bad! Heyyy!
