There's quite a bit of awkward phrasing. 2-3 days work for a good editor to fix, although ferreting out internal inconsistencies could take some time.I take it that quite a few people have worked on this book over the years? Maybe it was a problem of too many cooks, each with their strengths & weaknesses as writers.

mbassoc2003 wrote:Yes. Level 3 and Level 4 are supposed to be on separate pages and the PDF has been printed with Levels 3 and 4 overlapping on the one page. The corrected file is available, but it's not available to DFer through the website. Via direct e-mail only as per the current DF thread. So why not just chage the file on DF so everyone can have it?You've got the corrupted copy I have.

If you screw up, you'll be at the mercy of these boards - not to mention every armchair amateur attorney trying to defend Procter & Gamble's IP.Also, please try to be nice to the people you meet. One of the things I enjoyed about this project was making new friends. Sometimes friendships are more important than commas.And the answer is No, Len probably isn't going to sell you any of his really cool old TSR stuff. He's more the type to just give it to a bunch of kids to play with than let you guys lock it up in a vault.
