[QUOTE="Samurai, post: 232796, member: 3850"] Thanks for the reasonable response, Hyrum. I will bookmark your page and watch for the errata. I agree that most of the layout and design quibbles were entirely my opinion, and others may disagree. And if the GMs book includes more info and clarifications, as well as lots more background (the best part of the book, IMO, which is why I wanted more of it :) ), then I'll probably buy it. But there are so many areas in the book that need errata or explanations, I think you really needed to find a broader range of people to playtest and examine the game from the point of view of a complete newcomer. Class Abilities may have become so second-nature to the writers and playtesters, that excluding their descriptions was overlooked. To someone unfamiliar with the game, it becomes a glaring oversight. In this day and age where everyone and their grandma is starting a D20 publishing company, a professional looking product with as few errors as possible is a must if you want to succeed. I think you definitely have an interesting game, though, and I hope future books will be better. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
