Just mentioning that in "Loose Ends", the E in "Ends" should be capital letter :wink:

I would love for that to happen, if Deepshadow is willing. I just don't know if there's enough time to button it all up for this year.

What's the approximate page count on QTR#27 right now? I'd be happy to slack off and drop only half of Zytia which I ballpark at 27-30 pages, and take a few more weeks to clean up the back half and showdown for next year.

Also, I'm pretty sure my thing might cause you all formatting hell because I use styles and my own fonts and dropcaps and all that. Can you paste this word doc of the first ten pages in your doc, see how much vomit is produced, and let me know what I should ditch or change?

It might make more sense for me to just release this thing as a full fledged standalone. Opinions?

I'd be happy to see the Markovia bit.

Damn, this year I have totally forgotten to check the qtr theme :(


But I see very interesting articles in the list!

Excellent, do I have the last version or wish to add a few more words to the article?

Page count is irrelevant for a downloaded PDF. If all pages mean it, it's worth it.

But if it's very big, and format is a concern (your format is indeed unique to your document), why not release it as a standalone annex to QtR, with same date of release?

Markovia is far from finished, all we have is Sharon's preliminary notes.

I am picky about the formatting, and with statblock bestiary, magic items, etc (which I would not have done in time for this deadline but can do by Oct 31) it would be very large. I'll do the the standalone with same date of release and save you the trouble of de-fouling it.
