Let me know how I can help and I would be glad to help.

I spoke with Scott Lingrell at the SW PC as well as Mark who is the current Marketing Advocate for them.  They are closely working with Decipher and Warren Holland right now.

Here are some things we need to do:

Having a message board is fine for right now, but we also need sort of a behind the scenes board where those only interested in helping can see, so that we can talk privately. 

We shouldn't launch a website or really go forward with anything else before Decipher gives the heads up.

The SW PC is working on their charter to present to Decipher and become a full fledged Non-Profit.  We need to work on our charter and hopefully be approved by Warren Holland and Decipher. 

After getting approved we can get our Website set up as well as a Non-Profit status.  The non-profit status means that anything the Decipher helps us with, can be considered a tax write off for them, which only encourages them to help us some.  It also means that companies like Microsoft can have an employee encourage their company to donate money to this non-profit and have it help out the organization.

We should look more at the way that the 501st work with Lucas, where they are able to sell new product that doesn't hurt copyright or the brand, while anything made either goes to help another charity or help our own non-profit organization grow. 

I will talk to Neal a little more about getting info from all the former LOTR group members on Decktech.net.



I say our first goal is getting that Charter looking nice and seeing how the SW PC is doing on there's and helping each other out. 

I hope that this is helpful for everyone and please contact me with anything else I can help with.  I'll see what other info I can glean here and there.

We need to work on our charter and hopefully be approved by Warren Holland and Decipher. 

What's a charter?

[chompers]

google search - Define: Charter

* rent: hold under a lease or rental agreement; of goods and services
* grant a charter to
* a document incorporating an institution and specifying its rights; includes the articles of incorporation and the certificate of incorporation
* lease: engage for service under a term of contract; "We took an apartment on a quiet street"; "Let's rent a car"; "Shall we take a guide in Rome?"
* a contract to hire or lease transportation

I'm ready to help, and here's how:

1. support a local scene here in Utah.

2. support a web site that allows for a player/tourney database (I have /some/ scripting skills I might be able to donate if no one steps up)

3. support the community on the forums

4. support the PC directly with input on rules, cards, block formats, etc. I personally think I know all the rules well enough to answer virtually any question, and that makes me /want/ to be around to help watch over things

* a document incorporating an institution and specifying its rights; includes the articles of incorporation and the certificate of incorporation
* lease: engage for service under a term of contract; "We plan on running this game that you company made as the PC for LOTR that will look to run large events, encourage players to play and make V cards for the game and help it become a healthy game."

This is our way of setting up a contract with Decipher so legally they can't sue us for doing things here in the PC with their cards and their designs.  It gives us protection as well as the ability to do what we want to do with the game with approval from the company that originally made it. 

So for the SW PC they are putting down all of their intentions and what they would like to do while they are the PC to help the game grow, and what their vision of the game is.

We have to put together a statement/Charter for Decipher that lays everything out, what we plan to do to get where we want to be, and what we do once we are there.

I very new to these forums but I am up for helping.

I had been working on contacting members from the Michigan region when I stumbled on this site.

Count me in for any help you could use in Michigan, also if anyone had Michigan contacts it would be awesome.

Thanks

Scott, you're a maniac with that legalese. You should run with that ball, dude.

[Legosmurf]

Like I said, I'm willing to help. I worked with the Star Wars PC for a while designing virtual cards etc and am willing to do it again. Keep me posted.

I am willing to help, if I can.

I have some nice Design skills (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) but mainly I use 3D Studio Max. If i can help somehow, just mail me.

"I will take the ring to Mordor, though I do not know the way"

Translation: I'm in, but I'm not sure how I can be useful. 
Hmm, maybe this would have been a better quote:

"Anyway, you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission... quest... thing"

[Air Power]

Did it just loose steam/fail to launch, or did Decipher/New Line/JRRT's estate say no?

[Kralik]

Failure to launch. Lots of talk, little real action.

We have this site and GCCG is kept up by this site as well. It is probably the closest to the PC that we can get. Let's appreciate the site and help out in whatever way we can.
