[QUOTE="Terraism, post: 7367, member: 278"] Sounds great! I think this hints at the dwarven society best - they [i]are[/i] fighters, but they also work hard outside of military service - they're known for their industriousness. I can see very few dwarves resting on their laurels in the military (note - this isn't disparaging military, but in the case of the dwarves where I could see a good 30% of the people willing to serve, they [b]would[/b] run out of things to do.) Regardless, having most dwarves serve as 'on-hand' reserves with only a small percentage - guards and special-ops - serving full time makes a good deal of sense, especially economically. Beanbag - yup, I've got the lot of 'em... Pagemaker, Photoshop/Illustrator, Acrobat. Plus lots of other great stuff. Computers are a bit more than my 'hobby'. :D I'm taking some classes now on 'digital imaging,' and I've been thrilled with it... I'm finally discovering some corporeal artistic talent! (I'm generally rather good with music, too - but that's not something I can look at when I'm done... :)) Anyway, I might go digging for help, and if someone is good with real illustrations, I can't handle that part... but the layout and design is so much fun! Darraketh - I'm with you. I say "Lets make this a masterpiece! This will be definitive!" I think this might help answer your question, Stegger - it'll probably be closer to 200 pages than 20. And, as far as setting, I think the idea is to have this possible to drop into any world, somewhere. Day Knight - though that sounds cool, I'd bet it'd be much more interesting if I understood what you meant by "his minions are legions..." As in a (spelling) sick/ill/sore thingies? As in legions of troops? If so, what? Sorry - I'm not on the same wavelength here, but the idea sounds like a lot of fun. [/QUOTE]
