<thinking about the expense...>
Shemsu recently asked me a rather thought-provoking question. The answer was simple and obvious (to me), but there was that blasted can-o-worms attached to it.
"Are the old themes closed or can I make some things for them?"
heh. Anyone who knows me knows I *adore* new content, I get all warm & fuzzy at the thought of getting my <sticky> fingers on new shiny things. So the answer was, "Go for it!", of course.
Then the worms started wriggling out of their can and me without a fishing rod ;-P
What to do with new content for old themes? No way would I update a 20mb archive for a single new item, forcing builder's to re-download everything everytime someone adds something.
But I don't want people new to the CCC to have to download a dozen different files either.
So here's how I'll handle it:
New content for old themes is added to a monthly queue for that theme. At the end of the month any queue with content will be archived as a Builder's Source Addendum and made available on the Vault.
At the end of the year, all addendums will be combined into an Annual and the addendums removed.
I believe with this system we open up all those great old themes for improvement (I'd love to see Uncager's Planescape stuff added :-) but we maintain an organized, sensible method of additional content.
And, in case you're wondering what Shemsu-Heru has made (I believe someone was looking for a rolling pin weapon? :-)
- Ancient Civilizations - Pelta Shield
- Commoners - Rolling Pin
- Oriental - Kunai (dart)
