So, in terms of "how many times did you read it" - it's probably far closer to half a dozen times by the point I am through with it.The nice aspect is that I am generally quite proud of the output by the time this process is over and I have created something unique I'm pleased to have and hold on to.This takes a great deal of time, mind you. About 2 to 3 hours of work for every 1 hour of game time by the time I am done revising and supplementing the maps too. That in itself is not so bad though.  These days I find it hard to game more than once a month - so all the extra preparation time is just "gaming by other means", really.</blockquote>
