[Mongoose] What's in the Ultimate Game Designer's Companion?

[Flynn]

Mongoose_Matt and others,

I must admit that I'm very intrigued by the concept of The Ultimate Game Designer's Companion, and am very curious as to what's going to be included in it? If it wouldn't be too much to ask, would you mind posting some details of what's going to be included. The Table of Contents would be kinda cool, if that's okay.

Thanks in advance,
Flynn

I'll second that!

Like the other ultimate books, is this a compiliation of rules from various sources? If so, what companies did you use?


Thanks

Cool! I am honored!

But check my Section 15 declaration before you update your own. For starters you can drop that extra "U". You Brits and your colourful spelling.
