Formatting issue
In general, I love the look (ONLY negative in this regard are the maps in the "Starter Bundle" - they're just a bit TOO cluttered-looking for my tastes - though they still "feel" better than the slick, over-processed ones in most WOTC (et. al.) products) of this but ... the elf entry suddenly shifts from the 2-column format for everything else in the book to that point, down to a single column one - is this intentional?

Re: Formatting issue
I love the maps. The only problem I see with them is that they're designed to be "GM only" so the players don't get to enjoy them, too. (Well, I suppose once the adventure is done they can see the maps.)CEBrown wrote:the maps in the "Starter Bundle" - they're just a bit TOO cluttered-looking for my tastes - though they still "feel" better than the slick, over-processed ones in most WOTC (et. al.) products

I have a thing for layout and formatting, so I wanted to see what this comment was all about -- but I have no idea what it is referring to...CEBrown wrote: ... the elf entry suddenly shifts from the 2-column format for everything else in the book to that point, down to a single column one - is this intentional?

The Elf entry in the Beta Rules. The other entries are all formatted in double columns but the first page of the Elf entry is a single column.GnomeBoy wrote:I have a thing for layout and formatting, so I wanted to see what this comment was all about -- but I have no idea what it is referring to...

He means pages 42-44 in the Beta rules. I'd say this was an "oops".Eldric IV wrote:The Elf entry in the Beta Rules.

Re: Formatting issue
Actually BOTH pages, but it's not as obvious since there's like four lines of text on the second one above the big tables - but yea, that's exactly what I meant.Eldric IV wrote:The Elf entry in the Beta Rules.

Re: Formatting issue
Ah. I was thrown off by the term "Starter" and had looked again at the Adventure Starter and couldn't find anything single-columnificated about elves... 
Ya gotta make Elves "special" somehow, eh?

An orange and brandy glaze is especially nice. Fava bean go very well, also.jmucchiello wrote:How about basted in a special sauce?GnomeBoy wrote:Ya gotta make Elves "special" somehow, eh?
