If We Had Three Wishes, We'd Use Them All for Paid Time Off

Question: You took the time to put up a poll to see what project we wanted most, but what about you guys? What project are you most excited to work on? What project is John? What project are your players?

Oh, man. When I went to ask our players for their opinions, I got a list full of explosive enthusiasm. In no particular order, their most-wanted upgrades for Scion are:

*A Polynesian pantheon writeup
*New knacks
*The full Industry rewrite we've been promising them forever
*Relic creation guidelines
*World maps for the current games (where the Scions have permanently changed the World's topography)
*A recording of a typical game session to put online
*The Scion card game John keeps threatening to build
*A simpler updated Fatebond system

At the end of the conversation, one player also suggested "Buy the rights to Scion so we can fix it forever and ever" and then everyone pretty much jumped on that bandwagon excitedly, but I don't see us being Paizo any time in the near future, I'm afraid.

For me personally, I want to deal with the shamefully second-class state of our far eastern pantheons; the Amatsukami and Shen need a full rewrite with extra gods added, associateds fixed, and a deep-dive edit of their PSPs. They keep getting put off because we don't have any PCs from over there at the moment, but them being sort of "unfinished" for us leaves a big ugly hole in the world and closes doors that I'd rather were open (the PCs might want to hang out with them even if they aren't Asian themselves, you know?). The half-assery in their sections on the website bothers me continually.

When I asked John this question, he went on a tirade about a torrent of things he wanted to get done, then on a different tirade about different things he wanted to get done, then gave himself a headache and suggested I just remind everyone that he actually put the poll on the blog because he wants to do all the things immediately and therefore needs other people to give him direction. He also wanted to make a statement that it's usually me that chooses a project and makes him work on it rather than vice versa, because otherwise he gets bogged down in the enormity of the things he has left to do and goes to play Diablo instead.

So that's our messy pile of stuff we want to do, and it's just a little chip off the huge mountain of things, really. One of the reasons we love opinions from you guys is that it gives us a new perspective on what the game really needs most (other than Industry, I promise guys, soon); and, as John noted, another reason is that it gives us somewhere to focus instead of madly trying to do all the things all the time.
