Guild of Writers

I'm taking suggestions as to the sort of framework we'd need to help structure our new Ages as far as "storyline" and development. Here's my current list:

The upshot is to produce two Ages which are condusive to Explorer discussions and also to give a bit more pizzaz.

I nominate myself as the Grand High Poobah of Bureaucracy!
