Hey Serge mate! 
His points were probably valid, his manner a touch heavy handed, but I appreciate his passion on the matter nonetheless.
You know I think when the Immortals Handbook (Bestiary preview even) comes out and Chapter Nine of Gates of Hell is done we can have some interesting discussions on the hierarchy of the Hells my friend. I do have fond memories of threads we used to be involved in, many years ago over at the wizards boards about the nature of the outer planes.
I stopped posting in such threads when I started working on the Immortals Handbook (which says how long ago it was!), but I have this universal theory, the seeds of which started back then, a sort of theory of everything you might say, kosmically speaking, that ties everything together that I think people will get a kick out of. It ties in the kabbalah/sephiroth; quintessence; the book of Enoch; sanskrit spiritualism and chakras; the occult ages of man (eg. Atlantis); real world dimensional theory (I kid you not); the celestial order; the zodiac (people will love what I have done with this); elements of the Devachan; the Guardian Wall; Karma; the quartenary/ternary; Tarot, and a few other surprises all wrapped up in one simple package.
A small portion of which outlines how you determine the hierarchies of each plane using numerology and the relationship between councils (political groups of gods), pantheons (social groups of gods), dynasties (racial groups of gods), the hierarchies (aligned groups of immortal spirits, eg. demons) and so forth.
I hope people will find it as useful a philosophical building tool, as the challenge rating stuff was a mechanical tool.
Like I said, it will be interesting, for me, to be involved in such debates again. I love all that stuff, and its something I have missed a bit.
The Serge said:Dyson's... special, U_K. He's not a moderator or an admin at DF, so don't take his comments as a reflection of the entire site. It's best to just ignore him when he's being silly.

Please don't. The editor doesn't have a very good Con, and he might not be able to do his job properly under those circumstances.

I will be the editor for the Immortal's Handbook. I'm a real perfectionist when it comes to the rules (and to grammar), but I'm also reasonably fast.
You can see some of my past editing work at Silverthorne Games if you're curious.

Hey Sledge!
The tickling might distract him.
If I can answer this one for him, we (meaning me and the editor) are guestimating about 10 days time or thereabouts. So while hes working on the editing, I can finish off the art.

There are still things that need to be done, both on my side and on Craig's. He wants to rewrite some prose and make other minor changes, and I don't know how far he is on the illustrations. (My editing copy is art-free.)
Ordinarily, a product like this might take 3-4 weeks from where it is now to sale as a PDF. In this case the layout is already done, which will halve the time needed (more or less). Assuming there are no serious delays, we should be able to put the preview out by the 20th -- although this depends on Craig as much as me.

Hmmm..... :\ ....As I was going to say, the consequences of this topic slipping off the front page frankly do *not* bear thinking about. Therefore, I am putting in a Bump to help support it.

Well, but bumping won't make the two work faster.
