[QUOTE="talien, post: 3594622, member: 3285"] I love Delta Green. But the d20 conversion is a slap in the face. 99% of the book is just fine...it's the d20 entries that are horribly mangled. This single example sums it up, although there are more (from page 243-244). Please note, THIS IS TYPED VERBATIM. I did not create these typos! So to recap: [LIST] [*]Fortitude is lower case. [*]"savings throws"? I thought it was "saving throws." [*]It's spelled CHARACTER! [*]What happened between page 243 and 244? [*]There's a space in the middle of the paragraph. [*]It's DISSOLVES. [*]You either spell out ten or you write 10 -- and which is it, does it fire once every two rounds or once every three rounds after ten more uses. [*]Not to mention the repetitive sentence at the end. [/LIST] Was the editor/author not fluent in English? Some typos I can understand. But this is like a sucking black hole of editing mistakes formed in the center of the DG book and dragged all the other sentences into it. I'm even more offended because the book is so beautiful, and I have this monstrosity sitting in the middle of it. What really gets my goat is that all the non-D20 entries are edited just fine. So we know they CAN do a good job of editing. This D20 version feels like the stats were slapped in there without any oversight. Seriously guys. For shame. [/QUOTE]
