[QUOTE="DM-Rocco, post: 4078962, member: 14451"] I'm glad you liked it :) ;) :cool: I know that the alignment article has been done before. I asked RavenCrowking to do a final be all end all of alignments articles so we tried to cover everything and make it crystal clear. Alignment is generally lose in my games as well, but classes like the paladin have a more strict code that I wanted to cover. Then there is the whole, what makes up a Lawful Good society versus a Lawful Evil one? A little inside info, the first draft was good, but I had him re-write it three times to get it just right. ;) I generally hate starting at 1st level, but for some reason, I always loved the article in issue #51 of Dragon about 0th level characters. I didn’t want to start the magazine at issue #1 like everyone else, so I started it at Issue #0 and made most of the content about creating characters, options for new characters and rules for 0th level characters. Starting at 0th level is mostly something a beginning player will do get a feel for the game or an experienced player will do once for a challenge. Check out the whole adventure though, it is designed for all levels and will most likely give you plenty of new ideas. The adventure is also our solution to the Adventure Path. It is the first in what we are calling our Campaign Arc. This Campaign Arc is called ZERO TO HERO. It will be a complete campaign when finished. Unfortunately, with 4e around the corner, issue #1 won’t be continuing the Arc. We are awaiting the release of 4e to update and finish it so the whole Arc will be 4e. We hope to pick up on it again starting in issue #2. So, if you are wondering why there is so much background information, that is why. The 4e interview I think is really good and has some answers to questions that I haven’t seen before As to typos and such, I am good at editing others, but very poor at editing myself. When I edit others, I can see what needs to be changed, but for some reason, when it is my work, my mind plays tricks on me and makes the connections in my head that are not always there on paper. That and 69 pages of solid content was a bit mind numbing to sift through. I was bound to miss something. :\ I have a friend coming up from Florida who is a master of editing and we are going to tackle the editing job together. I was going to have him proof Issue Zero, but he was just to busy trying to find a way to move back here and I wanted to release the magazine before 4e came out. :D Hmm, no comments on the letters to the editor? I thought that was rather humorous myself :D :p :lol: [/QUOTE]
