[QUOTE="Truename, post: 9803663, member: 78255"] This is fantastic. A5 sizing makes a lot of sense, too. I particularly like the stats and items in the margins. Just a beautiful layout job overall. (And I like your writing too.) If I may nitpick, area 6 didn't work perfectly for me. The italics at the top of the page are what I'd read to get a sense of the room. The fact that the room is crowded with skeletons seems like a key point, and I might miss that if I'm just skimming. It took me a bit of reading and rereading to grasp that the "madoi warriors" and "crowded" sections were actually referring to the same thing. Here's my attempt at improving it: [B][U]6. Hall of Heroes[/U][/B] [I]A bronze door decorated with a pair of Madoi Warriors, one wielding a kopesh and the other a bow. The heavy door opens to release a rush of air that smells of old leather and dust. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]The room inside is crowded with skeletal Madoi Warriors who fill the room from side to side.[/COLOR][/I] [B]Madoi Warriors. [/B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]The Madoi are inert, but will awake and attack if touched. Anyone moving into the room must pass a DC 12 DEX check or activate all of them. A full patrol of [B]10 warriors [/B]and [B]8 archers [/B]are present.[/COLOR] [B][S][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Crowded.[/COLOR][/S] Altar. [/B]At the back of the room is a small altar to Sobek, on which rests a golden crocodile statue worth 300gp. [/QUOTE]
