Ian, I have to ask the obvious question. Are you keeping PDF copies?
No, I'm not; and this is why.... A large proportion of the document is Heroquest, and while Steve's thoughts on
RPGs and his writings are very fluid and not necessarily game specific, the info relevant to Revenant was the only real items of interest to me, and those are predominantly titbits here and there and the Verdigirs House Rules.
The discussions entered into in the APAs regarding other things discussed in Wild Hunt went over my head, as I don't have any of the stuff that is being discussed.
The docs make for good reading and historical research, and I can see some support to Steve's other works of the time, but there isn't that much here if you're looking for stuff to pick up and use. Like Revenaunt and Planes of Existance, this lot needs filtered and rewritten if it's to be of any publishable use. And it won't stand alone, except maybe the Heroquest stuff.
This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.
