Ebony works for the company.

If it sucks, we all get to dogpile on him.

Ok :)

I should warn you: the kung fu of the Emperor of the company, the August Personage of Jade, Joe Chan, is mighty. Harm His editor at your own peril.

I have faced the kung fu of the August Personage of Jade and beaten him with the power of the Cute Demoness Invoking Priestly Magic.

(ask him about the a-kon he spent married.)

Does that mean we dogpile you first, then Ebony?? :)

This is why, whenever possible, I try to avoid actually writing rules in favor of less brainstraining stuff like background flavor. Of course, my most recent book was like, 40% rules. (Even when you skim out the overhead found in 780K of MS Word files, that's still a lot of rules. I hate writing rules. I always know I -- and my playtesters -- have missed some obscure combination or cross-reference somewhere that won't show up until four years later when some rules lawyer with a magnifying glass finds it, and which subsequently blows up the entire system... <sigh>)

Heh. Thats when you get to Make an all new EDITION!. :)

I should be so lucky. Nothing of mine has ever made it to a second edition. No matter how hard the fans have campaigned.

Perhaps the fans just need to give it a new spin? *smirk*

Seriously, Bob, never give up hope. It can still happen.

considering how much Bob... complained... about
making the book I don't think its the fans that decide
whether there is a second edition. :)

Oh, it's not Shifters I'm talking about, but my first book, from 12 years ago, IST. I've been graciously CC'ed on so many write-in campaigns for that one... <sigh>

Anyway, this has drifted far, far off topic. If anyone wants to continue discussing this, feel free to come to my forums at http://pub21.ezboard.com/bdrunkardswalkforums
