Would it be possible for users to volunteer to test or help build a particular dataset? I just picked up the Shadowrun4th book, and I wouldn't mind helping out.

Volunteers are greatly appreciated! We've got a few folks helping us out with stuff already, but it's not as easy to coordinate it all as we'd like. Once we've got the Authoring Kit ready to put into people's hands, it will become much easier. We're going to be entering Beta testing of the Kit reasonably soon now. When that happens, we'll be looking for folks to help beat up on the Kit, so stay tuned....Would it be possible for users to volunteer to test or help build a particular dataset?

I've been a beta tester and a play-tester. My biggest problem is forgetting to write down how I get around a problem. Thus the composition notebook right by my computer.
Rob, I was going to say this in a PM, but might as well say it here.
I'm doing the EVERYTHING NOT IN THERE ALREADY custom data file that you've helped me out on so much already, and I was going to go ahead and send it to you next month when it's done anyway. I'm NOT going to include text descriptions beyond what I personally need for everything, due to copyright issues. i.e. for bloodlines I put Parent Clan: X Weakness: Y Disciplines: Z and NICKNAME: BOB in there, but not anything else.
SO, when I'm done, I might save you some MASSIVE time, as long as you like my prereqs coding, or the inclusion of Camarilla custom stuff. (i.e. only OD for this bloodline, or only this bloodline for this devotion ect...)

I'm reading through the current version of the Authoring kit documentation now. Heavy stuff, but I think it'll make more sense on the second or third read through. The biggest problem I'm having is with the terminology.

We've held off on the major Kit release so that it would be a very solid tool when users finally got it in their hands. We figured that was preferable to releasing something early but with significant issues.
A fair chunk of that stuff will be revised and/or replaced with the official release of the full Kit. So definitely familiarize yourself with a lot of the general concepts, but don't spend lots of time on it yet. We've made extensive refinements and revisions to how everything works over the past many months. The net result is much simpler and faster to use. I also think it's much more intuitive now. The concepts are all the same, but the mechanics have changed a fair bit.I'm reading through the current version of the Authoring kit documentation now.

I would rather you take the extra time than you rush and put out garbage.

So the current timeline is Mutants & Masterminds sometime soon, then the Authoring Kit after that. Any ETA?
My biggest problem I'm having is I can't make up my mind what game I want to work on after SotC. Either WFRP or SR4.

At this point, it's looking very likely that we'll be doing SR4 files ourselves under license from Catalyst. So WFRP might be a better option to focus on after SotC.My biggest problem I'm having is I can't make up my mind what game I want to work on after SotC. Either WFRP or SR4.
