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.

1 week per 32 pages. That's 6 weeks total for Combat & Tactics. Is that even possible?

It's 32 pages of finished product, not manuscript, so yeah it is.  A huge portion of that book is side-bars, grid examples, et cetera.  No doubt a lot of it was already partially written in house rule format.  Although technically he says he thinks he had 8-10 weeks for C&T because it was so rules heavy.

They weren't cranking out 32 pages of a novel ready to print in a week, although some authors do that too.
