Scott Hartsman - Off the Record

What better place to put a TODO list than right here?

• AGDC impressions and comments before AGDC gets too far into the past.
• Comment on The Legend of The Syndicate. Summary: It’s great to see a guild’s history and strategy get made into a real, live, purchaseable book. Hmm. Maybe I won’t need to write a full article about it now. Whatever I say will likely be that, with more words.
• Replace the About Me graphic with something less generic.
• Dig up the original community guidelines post I made for EQ2. I keep losing track of it through mail and board wipes. It needs a real home.
• List of the things I’ve worked on and when they all happened. People occasionally ask. I consistently forget a few.
• Looking at this Sage list on the left side of my browser, there’s at least a couple dozen active people who’ve kept my RSS-reading life interesting over the past few years. I should link them and say thanks.
• Figure out what to put in the Resources links down there at the bottom.
• Archive the producers’ letters and other assorted important posts. Whenever I want to find one, I have to hunt. Hard to think about the future without having the past handy.
• Find an old argument with Rich Vogel about the long term ROI of procedural vs. handcrafted content, and the effects on player attachment of both. (I think I won that one. He and Gordon now both argue “my” side better than I probably did. A belated welcome to the light side, gents. ;).  Oops.  Looks like it was an old argument with Raph.

Anyone in the formidable audience of “you three” have suggestions? If I’m forgetting anything you want to hear about, let me know.
