I was looking at Modern Superheroes on RPGNow (http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=3145&), and I am wondering if anyone has downloaded it yet. Given my current Starving Writer status, even 12 bucks is too much to spend without reason. The feature list is appealing, but the large number of grammatical errors in the ad copy worries me. If you can't write coherent ad copy (the 'first impression' anyone will have of your game), can I trust you to write coherent rules? If English is not your first language (some of the sentence structure looks more like a non-native English speaker whose grasp of English is good, but not perfect) and you want to write a book in English, have it proofed by a native speaker.
It's quite possible the advertisement was not written by the same people who produced the game, but I don't feel like spending 12 bucks to find out. Anyone want to volunteer to be a guinea pig?
A quick note to anyone posting products for sale on the net: We can't "flip through" your book in the store. All we have to go by is the "ad copy" you provide, or whatever samples you make available for download. Making a good impression is *vital*. When you have only one or two hundred words to play with, even a single error stands out.
