I like that idea. I'd prefer big meetings, as they would give more people a chance to voice their concerns and hear what has to be said by the GMs. It'd be easier than trying to pry information out of the few who went to the private meetings, or relying on just hearsay. And it'd be nice for us Humans, who don't really have any special organization, to see which players (and GMs) are actually interested in our race.

<< what do you guys think about semi-regular racial meetings?>>

I would support and be heavily interested in anything that furthered racial development in any form. Vivan los Toggies!

<<We could have either big, publicized meetings every few months or so, or smaller, more private meetings more frequently. Keep in mind that private meetings would more likely involve a 'sampling' of players of each race each time, so not everyone would be notified of every single one.>>

Im more a fan of small group communication, but i think it would largely depend on the focus of the meeting. In general, id favor the small group scenario, easier to kick ideas around and bounce them off others in that type of environment. Either way i hope this pans out, i love racial stuffs.

Thanks,
Imp

I like the small group option. Large groups can descend into whine sessions too fast and become wholly unproductive. Large meetings can take much longer and accomplish far less.

I think that having large meetings to get the general jist of whats wanted/needed, then small meetings with people who bring up good points/rp the race well to iron out some of these points and then repeat would be best.

Great idea for racial meetings. As far as big or small, whatever you find that works best. Good thinking on the meeting idea nonetheless.

I like the idea of the smaller meetings, they're easier to control and ya don't have 30 people tryin' to get different messages across at one time.

I think a mix of both large and small meetings would work best...

I'd imagine with larger meetings they'd be in a place like the Crossing Ampitheater, so chaos wouldn't be an issue.

And I like the idea of big meetings and then smaller meetings as well. Everyone gets a heads up and then those with ideas can flesh them out with the Race GMs.

Sounds awesome- it kind of taps into what the players think of their race and the courses possible.
Now if we could do that with our guilds.

I was going to say that small groups would be preferable from my point of view, but, playing a Gnome, I think they would be small either way

the problem I see with smaller meetings is the likelyhood that some people will never get asked to participate. Either because of timing differences or just bad luck and not knowing when the meeting will be. If its a large scheduled meeting, everyone at least has a chance to arrange it into their schedule and try to get their opinion heard via the sign up list at the meeting. If there is a way for the GMs to ensure that everyone will get chosen at least once, then I'd be in favor of the smaller meetings too.

We'll probably do a mixture of both. Large for major things, small for discussions, based on the opinions so far. I'm also considering maybe doing up a website for logs of the things and so on, maybe archiving pertinent racial info, as well, since I know I at least get frustrated that a lot of stuff's been shared on the boards, and it's hard to keep record of all of 'em. We'll see, eh?

Just LJ it. You know how to work one of those things.

As far as big important racial info is concerned, <shameless plug> bakshiloa.com has a pretty comprehensive set of racial guides. </shameless plug>

I agree, the mix would be best, as it would allow lots of people to show up and show an interest, and then the smaller meetings would allow better communication of ideas.
