[QUOTE="Shawn Carman, post: 253647, member: 5434"] I work for AEG in a couple of capacities. I'm on a regular stipend to develop material for the L5R CCG, and I'm a freelancer on the Legend of the Five Rings/Rokugan line as well as some other RPG books in the Spycraft and "Topic" lines. I only mention this so that you can appreciate my point of view on the subject. When I turn in a manuscript to AEG, I get a lot of communication from the particular editor that I work with. He emails me with questions and requests for more information or for me to finesse the material somewhat to bring it more in line with something another author has put elsewhere in the book. I never cease to be amazed at the depth and detail my editor goes to in his evaluations of the work. So yes, they certainly do edit the books. I suspect the problems you're pointing out are at least partially a result of the low staff - to - product ratio at AEG. Although people tend to think of them as a big company, they're really not all that large in terms of staff. Make of all this what you will. I just wanted to chime in on the subject, however briefly.
