You desperately need a gutter between columns. It's ugly and hard to read in the places where there's a longer line in the left column. If you're concerned about getting as much text onto a page as possible, the font, margins, and (especially) the indents before the numbers in numbered lists all...

It doesn't include attacks, and no-one said it did.

Of course. Now I feel silly that I missed that one.

Okay, first of all skill checks are ability checks. Saving throws aren't, but in 5th Edition, skills are just specific ways of using ability scores. That's why 5th Edition skills are listed as, for example, Dexterity (Stealth) rather than just Stealth. So, JoaT basically adds to all skills you...

I was just thinking this morning about how Every. Single. Area description. in Every. Single. Paizo product buries the lede. (And I probably shouldn't single out Paizo, they're just the first to come to mind.) The stuff the GM needs most in order to run the encounter is never at the beginning...

The dice system is great, I think it plays really well and people "grok" it easily enough. I don't know what the Warhammer one was like - which is stupid because I actually have it, but have never read it - so I can't speak to that comparison - but IME people pick it up quickly and the basic...

The system's all right, but the rulebooks... oh dear. They're bigger than the 5th Edition Player's Handbook for what's at heart a much less "crunchy" system and the main reason is that they never use five words when seventy will do. Things that could be explained in one sentence routinely have a...

Not among the top 40. Which surprises me because I'm often my own worst critic but this time had an entry I really liked and would totally have used and I especially thought the wombat would push it to the next level, because wombats are awesome.

Yes, gremlins seem to have come along and restored that sentence to my copy too, which I swear didn't say that at the time I asked...

Anyone else enter this? If so, have you heard back yet, or at least know what constitutes a reasonable time frame in which to expect to?

Just responding to the general tenor of the first page or so (and maybe this point's been made but if so I didn't see it and anyway this is probably more succinct): If you're concluding that EVERYTHING is overpowered, what's going wrong is that your expectations about the game's power level are...

I know this is a bit last minute, but is anyone else noticing a weird problem with that Word template where it wants to capitalize words like "if" and "it"? I'm finding that any word that starts with I may get incorrectly "corrected" to capitalize the I. It doesn't always do it and it's not even...

And your publisher. Don't forget about him.

Thanks. Most of that is what I thought he meant, but some of the sentences in that paragraph read like they're missing a few words so I just wanted to make sure. Why 38.5%? At GAMA pretty much all the distributors told me 40.

" One Book Shelf are Rpgnow.com and dtrpg.com pay their publishers 65% of the headline price, and we allow 5% for card charges and refunds on our mail order site. You can also get an idea of the horrors of margins through distribution 38.5% of retail, and 25c a unit. The cost of printing this...

Everyone says the magazines, but I hardly knew anyone besides myself (subscribed for about two years) who actually read them when they were in print. I voted for boxed sets, and given the popularity of Euro-style boardgames at the moment you're going to have a much harder time convincing me...

Inordinately high compared to what? That doesn't sound that bad. Of course, hardly anyone in this industry can do 20,000 units on a reliable basis, but if I thought I could I'd take that deal in a heartbeat.

Thanks, as one of the top 16 and someone who used to be on EN World quite a bit (still drop by sometimes), I appreciate you bringing a bit more attention to the contest. Bit late to the party, though - all of the top 32 had our maps up for the previous week, before the top 16 were announced...

Thanks for doing it as an article rather than a video this time around. I'd much rather read something like this than watch it.

Computer languages are, at the most basic level, implementations of the rules of formal logic. "If...then" has been a mainstay of those for centuries. So I'd definitely come down on the "obvious, and not just after the fact" side there.
