Are you guys really, really up for this?

[Tbiesty]

I recommend that those interested in helping set up the PC and its website participate in regular group meetings.  

Using the chat channel "The Beginning" here at a set scheduled time, like once or twice a week, would allow us to have more efficient discussions.  Right around this time of the day works fine for me.

It would be best if the website you have so far is up at that point.  That would give us something concrete to look at.  During the first meeting we can talk over things like "overall goals", "what do we need" and then divide up who is doing what.

I can then post a summary of each meeting under a single locked topic so it is clear who is doing what.

Does that work for people?

Sounds good - time zones will be a barrier as we are located all over the world.

If we have enthusiastic members taking some of the discussion away from the fourms is a good idea.

Ken you got a jay from here!

I've been looking around at other PC websites and what Kenddrick has shown, I attached a screenshot of something I put together today.  What do people think of this type of information on the main page?

[Kenddrick]

Hmm the software I'm using isn't that good, neither is my skill. I could trying hyperlinking the card database to the TLHH site though.

[Tbiesty]

I think I'll continue working on this website to get it fully functional.  I haven't built a website for a while, so I think I'll be fun.  At best, people will like it and we can use it.  At worst, nobody likes it and I'll just use it myself.

Question: Is it possible to buildin filters in the cards database. Something like Lotr online tcg has? That would be a big help for all of us. It also would attract more people to support the pc, because we provide a usefull tool then.

i like what you have there tbiesty 

one thing to consider however - if you plan on putting this up on the web be aware of Decipher's influence. They shut down an unsanctioned PC that operated for 1st Edition Star Trek because they were creating unsanctioned v-cards.

Decipher do still care about their property, but they have said they are willing to discuss the merits of a PC for LOTR and will allow the right people to operate a functional PC as they have already done for Star Wars and Star Trek.

That sounds okay. Btw v-cards are not our first priority I think. first let's organize. Then go to Decipher. Ask their permission and then start v-sets (after we know what we are allowed to do and what not) if need for1

If that is the case, I would like to be preemptive and ask Decipher about my plans for the site.  Does anyone have a Decipher contact I can check with?

I'd suggest you not use that Gandalf poster I made, simply because the website address contained in it is intended for my local play group and not necessarily for the PC at large.

I'm working with a couple others on developing the Bluegrass Format for playing LotR, which would be more of a homebrew that the PC would not want to necessarily advocate, especially if you're trying to create a uniform competitive structure.
