Two questions:

1) What's the pagecount of this document? The entry on RPGNow didn't seem to have this information.

2) Is there a demo available, or would you be willing to make one available?

My thanks in advance.

You know, when I first read about this product line, the first thing I said was, "ARGH! He beat me to it!!!"
The second was, "AWESOME! Now I can just sit back and enjoy it!"

I'll be getting this product this week. As an English grad with a specialization in Shakespeare, I am highly looking forward to it. I'll be sure to give some feedback once I get it.

Hmm... almost a week, and still no response to my query. That's a little disappointing.

I just purchased it, so let me give you at least the numbers and a quick rundown.

It is 13 pages (12 + OGL) and is divided into the following sections:

• Introduction - A quick but good intro with info on the origin of the play, it's history, and a few facts about the historical Macbeth and the events. (pages 1-2)
• Summary - Precisely what the name implies, it provides a summary of the play's characters and five Acts. (pages 2-6)
• Dramatis Personae as NPCs - Self-explanatory, presenting Macbeth, Banquo and Macduff at three different levels each, Lady Macbeth, a Scottish Warrior, the Weird Sisters, and a template for Banquo's ghost. Includes a couple of new Special Abilities and items. (pages 6-11)
• Story Seeds - Three story seeds based on the play: one based squarely on the play, one in which Macbeth is the hero instead of the villain, and one that only takes the characters but leaves the play behind. (pages 11-12)
• OGL (pg. 13)

At first glance the writing looks good, though I can tell you I am a little put off by the Cliff's Notes section (Summary). Let me read it, though, to see if it's more than just that. The NPCs look good, as do the seeds. Again, all at first glance. Once I read it, I'll come back and comment more.

My thanks, Hal, that gertainly helped. If you get the chance, give' er a review. I haven't been able to find one for this product anywhere yet.

3.25$ for 12 pages (in PDF!).... :\

Hate to say it, but compared to other products, $3.25 for 12 pages is a STEAL....

3.25$ for 12 pages (in PDF!).... :\

.99 per 4 pages is becoming a fairly standard price point
