[QUOTE="evildmguy, post: 9227852, member: 6092"] That's a great question! I probably never answered this. I see the following outline of categories being used for the combined magazines. Character Creation -Heritage, Culture, Background, Destiny Classes -Archetypes Equipment Feats Combat Maneuvers Spells Gamemastery -This includes new systems or optional mechanics Worldbuilding Encounter Design Exploration -Exploration Challenges Maladies Magic Items Monsters Then I would go through the gazette and slot the articles into the correct category. Constructed Heritage - Heritage Artificer - Classes Lycanthrope Synergy Feats - Feats Jabberwock - Monsters Fateholder - Monsters Foretold Prowess - Archetypes Weaving Prophecy - Character Creation Fellspire - This might be the first article that gets split putting the respective information into their specific groups. In this case, Exploration Challenges, Magic Items, & Monsters Avenging Archetypes - Archetypes Well-Equipped - Gear, Magic Items And so on until all articles are in the correct categories, with some broken out as the article contained things that fit into multiple categories. Things then get alphabetized in their area so feats, spells, gear, and so on, until all are alphabetically ordered. The articles that get split could just be split, without calling out what they are from, and then equally alphabetized. I think many things that would get split would be self explanatory in their area. There are some judgment calls, of course. As class listings do, the artificer article keeps its base archetypes at the end, with extra ones in other articles in the Archetype section. There are going to be other articles that require these types of decisions. Paths of Courtly Intrigue and The Fellspire articles will be broken up by category. Yes, they might lose some context but for me, that creates more areas for creativity or seeing other synergies. Maybe seeing all of the gear together will show some interesting possibilities. In this way, the information from the articles is now organized where they would be found in the main books. Instead of looking through all of the magazines, or scanning the table of contents, I can turn to the class section for new classes, look at all new spells, or peruse new gear, mundane or magical. That's how I would like to see it. I'm looking at long term, three years later, and each year's compilation book is an expansion book that is organized for play at the table. I hope that is clear. Thanks for the question! [/QUOTE]
