I was just looking through my collection of Troll Lord Game Modules and am baffled at the consistently poor editing and typos.. Whats the deal? I may have made typos in this post but at least Im not getting payed for it. And no I dont have a degree in English, but I would expect somebody who is hired by a company to produce game modules to be somewhere close to that level and not allow such a jumble mess to get printed.
Traveller wrote:The editing complaint against Troll Lord Games is justified, in that the company did hamper adoption of Castles & Crusades by the copious amounts of errata for the Player's Handbook (five pages of errata). As the guy who put together the errata, half of it was spelling errors, and I do agree that spelling errors are not good things in a product that can be created in a word processor.I would say that by the standard presented here, TSR itself would have failed to meet the test. Would you have voted with your wallet against TSR for its obvious spelling and grammatical errors that popped up in its books on a repeated basis, including OD&D?

I mean seriously, if a company can't take the time to run a spellcheck program, what're the odds that they've actually tested or really even THOUGHT about the crap they're trying to sell you?If you want to see really, really horrible editing/proofing, browse anything by Fast Forward Games. Their stuff is just outright laughable.
