Eager Writer

Post by xflclx »

Hey all,
I just recently joined the TR project, and would like to put my skills to use as a quest writer. I have many years of experience writing involving, non-linear quests for Dungeons and Dragons, as well as authoring world mythos, constructing nations, economies, political bodies, races, and cultures for D&D and integrating them into campaigns (quest lines). I have a solid understanding of what it takes to hook, motivate, propell, and reward players. I also grasp the subtle nuiances of quest writing that breath life into what was previously a mere sequence of events: attention to detail, coherence, humor, etc. I have been reading up on the Main TR and Morrowind Provincial questlines, and am currently working to absorb much of the Tamrielic Lore at The Imperial Library (which will take me a few days of study).
I want to get to work fast, and need to know where I am needed the most. What quests need to be written? Where can I read up on the main factions, their roles in TR, and principal players in the MW questline? Who do I talk to to involve myself in writing various quests, and how does quest claiming work? I already have a firm understanding of the MW political arena (being a MW junkie), and would like to work on NPC and quest writing for the MW Provincial questline. Anyhoo, if anyone can help me out in any of these areas, I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you all for your time! I look forward to getting to know you all and advancing the project as best I can
Peace .\\//

Well, faction questwriting for Map 2 (the latest download that includes interiors and detailing is not available yet, but you can look at the Map) is just being started, and there are a lot of factions there. A good overview of some proposed overhanging conflicts can be found in Map 2 Conflicts, there are also threads about some of the guilds and their quests.
