I haven't looked any others over than what I mentioned. Tim and/or Steve did respond to what I sent.

There was a new, updated release for the Adventurer's Backpack. Of the things that I didn't like from the first release, it is clear that has been a lot of work on this. To those of you contributing, thank you. For those of you contributing, please make sure the Trolls understand that an editor is STILL definitely needed for grammar, spelling, and good sentence structure. Also, the equipment lists need a good fine-tooth comb approach to editing.

Good luck guys! Keep up the good work. Thank you.

Agreed and well said. I found some errors in reviewing and sent them over.

Going through the new version today. I made it through page 20, and sent Tim a list of corrections, suggested edits, a requests on clarification on some of the class abilities. Some of the class abilities need cleaning up, or at least I'm confused by some of them.

I finally figured out which weapon footnote 6 refers to in the main weapon table.

This is a very interesting thread. It's like watching a movie trailer- getting clues but not the whole plot. I look forward to the final version of the book. What is the intended time for publication?

I do find it "funny" that we in the RPG fandom, support a product by purchasing it (or in the case of a Kickstarter, purchasing it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of time)....then in some cases end up doing much of the editing, etc for free. (I've done this several times myself for different games).

Not sure there is a comparable model anywhere else?

Be like buying a car and I have to upholster the seats myself. :D :D :D

But then you can get the seats exactly as you want... heh.

Of course, this could be extended to the entire design/writing process- what a business plan!

I actually prefer this type of design, though I don't do Kickstarter myself ;)
