This is something that you are telling me, which is also something that I have been known to do, and it is also that which you have suggested that I might need to reconsider doing, when I do it, while I'm doing it... (etc.)

I really like the idea of a players version...that is why we did our Bluffside pullot map plain, so PC's would not go "Ummmm ok we go to MD15 now".
But to have a players view and a GM's view that is nice, gives them a quick overview of a town, and enough knowledge to get by.
For a city it would be impossible, but a town/village nice idea!
Overall the "feel" not grammar etc is what I liked, it felt good, not fake, as a publisher we like good text etc...but we have people called editors who make sure my writing does not look like my posts
.
Anyway, nice job and good clear map, this is a nice start to CMG.

I think it's going to be a good system for me to use. It allows me to show off some of the work, as free PDFs, and sell the secrets.
We'll see how tough it is for a Metropolis in good time. (Did someone just drop a gauntlet?)
I tried to make it a friendly overview, not unlike a travel brochure combined with a local newsletter. I think it has that personal touch without revealing too much. I've taken on a diverse team of well-read individuals and professionals to help edit the Focus more extensively. I have a feeling that the ones who aren't already working in this niche of the publishing business will find even more freelance work once the Focus has been released. I think they'll do a great job with it, if they can put up with my writing style.
Thanks again for the compliments!
