Vikings D20

[Khairn]

yup. It's just the quick previews so that I can throw out a bone to you all.

~Le

Indeed, we appreciate it very much.

 

[Treebore]

Lookin good. Lookin real good.

I hope this preview is pre-editing The. Lots of grammatical errors make it hard to read.

Sorry 'bout that. English isn't my first language, I'm afraid (I'm from Norway).

It's okey. It just means the book is all the more authentic!

While there are indeed some grammatical errors in the book, the editor (once I find one) can make some small fixes, but overall will need to leave most of the text intact. It is too costly for the editor to do a complete rewrite on the book (Vidar is the only author on the book). I'll make sure that Vidar writes an introduction explaining his English proficiency, and I'll make sure I price the book a little lower than usual to account for it.

Theme the book as being a translation of a translation and say the errors are intentional to convey the "authenticity".

Don't sweat it Vidar. This was the only section of the previews that has cropped up for me. I didn't notice any in the other sections. And you write in English far better than I write in Norwegian

And to have you as an author, with your love and devotion to the topic, will far outweigh a few grammatical glitches. I'll look at them as reading speedbumps

Speaking of which, Vidar, by chance have you included a pronunciation guide for some of vocabulary? I realize it is a tall order so don't feel it is a request.

 

[Sigurd]

Vidar you supply the dream, sweat and vision. Let TheLe edit to his hearts content. Can't leave him with no contribution to thank him for.


If you see any errors correct em, but if you want to fight for a few more pages of gaming goodness rather than slavishly go through another review... We'll understand...

ps Don't be afraid you're from Norway, lots of more scary places to live.

This is pretty much how I feel about it right now. However, I'm already working on the next Vikings books, and I make a note of any errors I come across as I look up references from book 1. I'm also DMing my regular gaming group through our first real Vikings campaign, and the guys are all under strict orders to make a note whenever they find an error. When Le has finished the editing he's currently working on, I'll ask him to mail me the .doc files so I can correct the errors I've compiled.

PS: Thanks for your constant support; Fenris, Sigurd and all the rest of you guys!

So how does the announcement of 4e affect (or effect- which ever is proper in this case) the release of this product?

It means I should haul ass and get it out soon.
