June Call For Questions (Patreon)
Content
Greetings, Patrons!
I'm still working on the Session Zero article, but it's a new month and that means it's time for new questions. As always, I will not be able to answer every question. To increase the odds of getting an answer, consider the guidelines below.
- Given the volume of questions I receive, I limit myself to answering one question per patron per month. You can ASK multiple questions, because it may be one is easier for me to answer than another—but if you ask seven questions, I'm only going to answer one of them.
- If I can answer a question in 2-3 sentences, I may answer it here (as a reply to your comment). If I can answer a question in 2-3 paragraphs, it may be answered as an IFAQ article, but I only have time to post a few IFAQs per month. If it would take 2-3 pages to answer the question, that's a Dragonmark article, and I generally can only write one of those in a month. So in short, the longer and more complicated the question, the lower the chance that I'll have time to answer it. The past few months, I've written Dragonmarks that address multiple questions that have been asked—because there were many questions about the Eldeen Reaches, it made sense to write a big article. So if you ask questions that expand on someone else's question, it may increase the odds that you'll both get an answer.
- If I'd have to do significant research to answer a question (whether that's studying a real-world historical movement or third-party D&D supplement) that increases its effective size; even if it will only take three sentences to answer the question, if I have to do three hours of research first, it's going to go to the bottom of the slush pile.
- I'm more likely to spend time on a complex question if the topic seems like it will interest a significant number of people. So when you're looking through the thread, like questions you'd like to see answered!
If you asked a question in a previous month that didn't get an answer, you can always ask it again, but consider as to how these guidelines apply. I do my best, but time is always the enemy. As a side note: Questions don't have to be about Eberron! I'm happy to answer questions about Gloom, Phoenix: Dawn Command, world building, my novels, or anything else that I do.
As always, thanks for your support!
