How well developed are the games listed in the prospectus?
How far in advace do you put the list out to the players? Does anybody do it a different way?

I give the prospectus out maybe half a year ahead of time. That gives me a month or so to nag the players to get them back to me, a month to analyze them, and then a couple of months to figure out further details and set up a time for a pre-session, which I hand out campaign protocols and do character building.
Because I'm working that far in advance, I don't know much more than what I've written down. When I start seeing that games are favorites, I start doing developmental work.
Oh, and I always fill out my own prospectus (though I never put a 0 on anything, obviously). How much I would enjoy a campaign is part of the proper scoring too.
