I'm new on this but been playing SC since I was a kid.
As LoTV is about to come out I've been thinking a lot about the time between SC:BW and SC2.
I'm going to write a story based on Raynor's life from the death of Fenix to the moment we find him boozing on Mar Sara at start of WoL.
I'm sure there may be canon in amongst this but I'm gonna have fun anyhow. I think this was a time of great darkness for Raynor and I want to tell the story of that descent before he redeems himself. I want to show his meeting of Matt and how these two forged such a close bond. Jim is the kind of man who people follow and that's also interesting when his choices aren't the best and his attitude is grim.
Mission 1 will start on Korhal. On the day of the Confederate nuclear holocaust. You control a younger Mengsk as he tries to get his young family off the doomed planet.
Raynor's Revenge will chart how during this dark time for Jim he could have become a new Mengsk who succumbed to hate after the destruction of Korhal.
I've loads more in my head and so I'm here looking for help. I'm a professional writer but actually don't know squat about the Galaxy Editor. So if you fancy making a custom campaign together - let me know!
And if no one wants to create the missions but there's interest in the story - sure I'll just post it up here!!
I'll think about it. I've been wondering how joining a team would be, as I don't have as much time to do all parts of a map as I used to. I like to think I'm intermediate level with triggers and data. You'll want someone else to do terrain though :P. Obviously you can start writing now, but it might be best to wait after LoTV release to start up too much on the map side.
I'm very chuffed with reaction so far.
I'm very happy to start pulling a team together. A PM/co-director with experience may be very handy as I'm such a noob in terms of building the entire campaign.
From a story POV- another small thing I was thinking about today is Mission 2 starts immediately before 'Omega' and it's about Jim running into the Zerg by himself without waiting for Artanis and the other two converging fleets. It's a mission that'll make a lot more sense of his 'second' invasion of Char in WoL. When he 'always has a card to play' it's from a lesson hard learned through death and defeat.
Meanwhile flashback missions to Mengsk keep showing the juxtaposition of these two characters arcs. Mengsk wasn't born willing to sacrifice entire planets for his own advantage- his hate was born out of the last sacrificial thing he did...

Terrain is easy stuff guys! :-)

@wargirlwargirl: Go
Lies! All good terrainers are some sort of geniuses or something!
