I'm looking for someone who I can trust, who is good at making campaigns, and who knows dutch and can translate dutch to english. It's because of a book I am writing: I would be happy if at the same time with my book, a scenorio with the same story is progressing. You understand? The scenario is ment not to have the end and some important stuff, to become something like 'Want to know the rest? Buy the books!' It could be changed but.. Ah, whatever. Just read this and post if you think you could help me.
Evverdee, writing the Nerhûn trilogy.

I doubt anyone would really appreciate such a campaign. People would rather just read the books instead, and/or not bother at all with the campaign. Sorry, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. What about, say, Lord Of The Rings...what if Peter Jackson had cut the last half of The Two Towers out, and all of Return Of The King, and said buy the book if you want to know how it ends...that'd be a pretty silly thing to do. Just make all the story into a campaign as well as write it...reading the story and playing it will still be two different experiences.

Yeah, I'd say it would just annoy people rather than encouraging them to buy the book. Its the same as, a lot of people have read LOTR because the film was so good, and vice versa. So, if your campaign is good (and complete) it will encourage more people to buy the book. However, you could put more in the book than in the campaign, i.e; leave out some scenes so that people will want the book to see the full version.
