We've been getting new members, with new quests for reviewing. We could use the help of our already-registered reviewers to keep up with them. ;)

We could also use some more reviewers, if anyone is interested. :)

In case anyone is wondering what our secret system is over there...
Scribes Enclave Reviewing System

Our primary goal is to provide authors with helpful feedback on new quests, so they may polish and tweak them before advertising to bigger audiences. We want to help our authors get as much exposure as possible for their quests. We will do this by providing helpful feedback, as well as in-game reviews. We want to help authors test and polish their quests, and get them to the 5-review mark, the 20-play mark, and beyond.

Our procedure:

1. The author posts their quest in the Review Requests section, including all the pertinent information from the Request Posting Guidelines thread.

2. Our volunteer reviewers may either run the quest immediately (when they see the post), or leave a comment to let the author know they will be reviewing it soon. All members are welcome to review quests if they like, following these same guidelines.

3. Volunteer reviewers are not obligated to run every quest posted, but as a registered reviewer there is an expectation to help out as much as possible. Our goal is to provide at least those first five reviews, so please check new review posts to see if more reviews are needed.

4. Members are welcome to browse the registered reviewers threads to seek help from specific reviewers. Keep in mind the volunteer reviewers are not obligated to run any and all quests they are asked to run. Be respectful.

5. Please do not leave any rating below 3-stars on members' new quests that you have volunteered to review. If you feel the quest was not worthy of a 3-star or higher rating, please decline leaving an in-game review, and send your feedback to the author here via GuildLaunch mail. If you feel the quest is violating any game rules or Scribes' Enclave rules, please notify me via GuildLaunch mail.

6. Keep public feedback positive, objective, and spoiler-free. Further feedback should be sent via GuildLaunch mail or other private message. Please try to include tips or ideas with feedback.

7. Authors are encouraged to discuss ideas or ask for tips publicly on their thread for creativity feedback. It is up to the author which aspects of their quest to discuss publicly.

Keep all comments clean and respectful. The Site Manager can remove any comment, post, thread, or member at any time.

    We miss you guys that have signed up but haven't been around in awhile. :) We've got several new members lately, and more new quests. While most of us are still active on these public forums also, we do have some preparation over there to help get some quests ready for more public advertisement. I really appreciate everyone who's signed up, and hope you'll find time to take a look at what's happening over there now.

    We have 52 members now, but we could use more reviewers still. We're not elite or exclusive, and we still help out authors on these forums. Anyone is welcome to join, authors, reviewers, or just anyone who has an interest in the foundry. :)

    Also, if anyone else starts up a reviewing guild or system, we'd be happy to network with you. :) Our group has our certain way of doing things, but we'd be happy to network with other groups who have other ways.

    And we foundry authors struggling to get reviews are most thankful indeed -- all Scribes' Enclave reviews I've gotten have been very helpful in polishing my quests.

    Thank you thank you thank you thank you!
