Hey all. So I'm writing a google + mixtape post commemorating some of the great, long-running campaign on G+. Hill Cantons is at the top of my list. I'm collecting reflections and reminiscences from folks, game ephemera, session write ups and the like. I've followed Chris' blog from the beginning, and played with y'all in a late Hill Cantons phase for about 6 months, and read the Hydra Cooperative products. So I know a lot. But I still need your help to do this right. This is kind of hard one, because I know how much this game means to everyone who plays in, and how long it's been going. But I'm going to ask you try to say something about what this game has meant to you.

3. We haven't figured that out yet. Personally I lean toward "partners and primary author decide/negotiate that jointly."
Looks reasonable to me, a few details to be nailed down and perhaps the more "vision" related bits to be explicated. This is an LLC, I take it or going to be?
ReplyDeleteamendment to 2. it also means that we are committed to having anyone who works on a project have at the least a level of ownership stakes in that project.
ReplyDeletetrey causey we are already officially a Texas-based "member" LLC (which means its owned by more than one person).
ReplyDeleteI thought I might have seen that somewhere, but I wasn't sure.
