Okay, so it's not even a question that we're doing a Theros anthology. It's gonna happen. It'll be a few months before we have enough info to work with, but it's GONNA happen. Anyways, the format seems pretty apparent to me, but to give everyone a chance to talk through things, I thought I'd open it up for discussion, as well as debate as to how we want to prepare and plug this.

I'll take over on graphics again, because I think I've managed a decent enough job on the Innistrad.
We'll need someone to organize the stories once we have them, someone to run viral marketting for us, someone to stir up interest and possibly farm things out, and someone to put it together once we have everything.

As to the format, it seems pretty clear to me:
Monsters
Heroes
Gods

In that order. The monsters and Heroes stories will likely have a degree of overlap, but I see the integral distinction being one of humanity. The monsters stories will be about how rough the world is, but the hero stories will be about triumph.
The gods will be qualified as anything with the star field and the influence they have.

As to the title, I feel like there's something we can harvest from the concept of Nyx, but I'm open to ideas.

I'm good with running marketing and compiling the whole thing, if you're good with doing graphics. Doing all three was overwhelming. If we can get 42 (or uh... Luna) on copy editor duties again, that'd be great, since he really went through Fragments with a fine-toothed comb for syntax errors.

Heroes, Monsters, Gods seems like a logical structure, yeah. Just for the sake of argument, though, what alternatives are there? Division by Paths as per the prerelease? Divisions by Polis? Divisions by Comedy and Tragedy?

The Pantheon. Or rather that section of the Pantheon that has godly representation. Split it in five. I'm not saying that's what we should do, just that it's an alternative.

Sure, I'd be up for that. Although... :sweat: I've really been trying to get myself to read the rest of the Guides for Theros; I've only read the first so far.

I'll admit that I'm not liking Theros as a card set all that much yet; but there are two more sets to convince me. I may end up liking the plane more than the set, so we'll see what happens. The reason I bring it up is that it will influence how much feedback I will be giving while in construction rather than in post-production.
