Interesting. I've never edited any stat blocks (heh), so I've never noticed that kind of thing. I'm sure that if I was editing something like that, I'd make sure it was at least internally consistent. That being said, are those things you mentioned industry-wide conventions, or individual...

Maybe I shouldn't admit this, but if being able to edit stat blocks was a requirement for editors of gaming materials, I wouldn't be doing any editing in the field. I am an excellent editor, but I have no head for the crunchy bits. I've been playing (for example) 3.x steadily for the past 7...

QFT! So, pay your authors less and your editors more! ;)

Ooh, that's helpful. Thanks! :D - Seonaid, who actually has been checking her guys every day

So if a game gets postponed, I should swap out those guys just like they weren't playing at all, right? And then when the game gets played later, it'll show up just like a normal game day, right? :)

How does it work if games get postponed? I switched around my guys so that my benched players who aren't postponed are playing, but the guys on my bench aren't as good as the guys who are postponed. Will the games that get postponed just have their stats applied to the day they are played?

I'm the one who instigated this whole mess (and damn proud of it! :)), so I'll throw my hat in the ring. I've been freelance editing/writing for three years (I have references and samples), both in the industry and out. I'd be happy to proof/copyedit for credit and the right to take an excerpt...

And that's exactly what the OP was trying to say. :p

But that's not true. Three people (that I remember) have posted here that they'd be willing to do it for free. Maybe the other two were tongue-in-cheek, but I'm dead serious. If you give me credit and the right to take a couple pages' excerpt for my portfolio (hell, you could even pick the...

There are a lot of posts in this thread that I wanted to quote because I agreed with what they were saying. However, I'll just leave it at this: I am a freelance editor, specializing in proofing (but I also commonly do copy-editing and substantive editing, as well as writing). Because I am new...

Exactly. Give me the d4!

Thanks. I won't worry about it then! :D

I'm not sure who offered me that trade (I'm too lazy to go look), but thanks for the tip on the DL. :D Edit: Based on the post right before mine I assume it's krunchy. I must have missed a bunch of posts, because I don't remember reading the last couple. Should I be bothered by the fact that...

So, I'm not sure what happened yesterday, but three of my guys played and JC told me at least one of them (my pitcher) did really well. I still don't quite have the stats down, so I don't know what "good" and "bad" numbers are (not to mention, what the actual stats mean!). It's funny--I was...

Haha, yeah thanks. I am worried mainly because it's a day-to-day thing. I'm used to football, which is weekly, but apparently I have to check my guys every day? :confused: And I just really don't know anything about baseball. JC explained all the stats to me two nights ago, but I'm still not...

Okay. I am not a fan of baseball, but JC wants me to try to get into it, so I'm trying. I have no idea what's going on, but I wanted to say hi. :) I'm a big fan of fantasy football, so this isn't completely foreign to me, I just haven't paid any attention to baseball since the late '80s. :D

When you went to see it, did you go in with the understanding that it was based on a graphic novel?

Whew! Thanks for the link and suggestions. We'll let ya know how it goes. :) Damn, you've got a good memory! I ended up not doing anything for Halloween. But if I do something this year, I'll post pics if it's gaming-related. ;)

Well, it should arrive within the next 19 hours, which means I'll get to use it in about . . . 4 days, so I'll update you then. :D And I'm sure JC will be posting about it, too, if he can come up for air.

Man, I have no idea. I couldn't even finish it. I'm sure I donated it as soon as humanly possible. But, given your post and the world's admiration of her, maybe I'll saunter down to my local library and give her another shot. I'll let you know how it goes. ;)
