[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 8562361, member: 15700"] Ooof. You're technically right. I suppose I was assuming they wanted to act like a semi-professional company, rather than "out of your garage" or "lets create some binders for our company team meeting" company. Nothing wrong with the latter of course, but going to Kinkos to spiral bound a few books isn't what most publishers or game companies do for their products if they want to be a decent-sized company with a large customer base (which LaNasa sure is trying to do with his whole "We are the NEW TSR!!!" thing) It takes about an hour to do what Don did in that layout. Layout =/= publication. For example, as you can see from my ToC, I have most of the layout completed. I could easily show you a 2 page spread. I can show you hundreds of page spreads. But I'm still months away from any sort of production runs. I still have more art I'm waiting on, editing (which is time-consuming), I still have my open playtest packet open on my site, and even when all of that is done, I still need to send it off for proofs. It's a long process. Point being, don't assume that because we're seeing a page spread means the product is anywhere close to being done.
