[Blue Devil Games] Passages - Literary Adventure in the Victorian Era

I find it my duty to object to the notice above. Any gentleman of distinction knows that the twenty-sided figure is an icosahedronal, not a dodecahedronal. Unless this error is corrected forthwith, I shall not avail myself of your product.

The error is intended. (But kudos to you for noticing it.) The back cover is done tongue-in-cheek to mimic the ads for curealls common to the time, which are rife with misinformation and prone to exaggeration. There's another "gaffe" on the back cover as well. Hint: One would expect Jules Verne to have a better grasp of French.

EDIT: I just noticed I spelled the French properly in the OP. Ironically, that was the "error." The quote on the book is "Se magnifique."

I thought about it, and it occurs to me that the jokeiness of the back cover is lost when it's not presented as part of the whole book. I went ahead and clarified the sales text in this post and on the RPG Now site in the interest of accuracy as opposed to humor (which I think is the appropriate way to do things as far as sales text goes).

Anywho, lest I make a mountain out of a molehill, I'll shut up now.

Justin,

I've had an opportunity to check out Passages. Good job to all involved. I particularly enjoy the small attentions to detail in the formulation of sentences and such. The layout is clean and crisp as well, making it quite an enjoyable read.

Thank you, sir. As for layout, Phil did a bang-up job.

Thank you. You've described exactly what I was aiming for.

By the by, I just posted the last Design Diary on the Passages Product Page. I'll be posting the intro adventure shortly after GC SoCal.
