This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: TristramEvans;624207lol, no I meant what was the basis for them? (I cant read the SA forums at work)

You realize "basis for an accusation" is an oxymoron when dealing with awfulpurple right?
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

I'm sure it's been mentioned elsewhere, but how big a book is AoI likely to be? A massive tome like DCC or a small OD&D style LBB?

It should be between 190-200 pages.

Quote from: RPGPundit;625005No pronunciation guide, though. I hadn't even considered that; I figure anyone who cares will be able to look up pronunciations, and most people won't worry about it.

Make it a free download on the product page.


Quote from: RPGPundit;625005I've never found any "racial lineup" image to be particularly inspiring, I don't think that's the central point.

The best one I have seen is in Palladium Fantasy.

Somewhere in between, about 200 pages.

And judging by this thread, I can see that I'm going to have to start up the AoI Q&A thread sooner rather than later...

Quote from: RPGPundit;623612I hope that when the layout guy is just a little further along, you might release a page or two of a completed part as a sample of what the interior is going to look like.

I've seen it, and I think the border art is fantastic, the tables are really well built (note that the actual layout of the tables was done by Bedrock's layout dude, I just sent it all in as text), and with the interior art added in there its going to look spectacular.

RPGPundit

The layout guy here. Hello.

I'm glad you like what I've done so far. I am nearing the end of the most recent pass. I can say that the look of this game is not your typical old school look. I really tried to be a little more modern in font choice, and I think the look really works well.

Now I have to get back to making the tables look nice. :)

Carry on! As you can see, we have a lot of people waiting for this game, with varying levels of patience.

Thank you.  I am, on the whole, very impressed with your layout work and how great the book is looking.  I'm reviewing it right now.

Thanks. I approach book design from a readability angle. You have to be able to read the text, and the text should not be hidden by the design. I still have some tweaks to make, but the book has a very organic feel, and part of this is I avoided tight text justification and went with a ragged look. The text needed it due to the amount of information in the book, and the number of tables. The eyes needed a little rest.

I really am trying to do your work justice, and I think I am pulling it off.

Glad you like it.

Well, do keep in mind I was complimenting you because you're also about to be buried under a torrent of corrections, adjustments and nitpicks; so I wanted you to take it softly, and not think that it meant I didn't like the overall layout, which is great.
