Stargate525

Quote from: CYMROBorder Patrol:  Why is this in multiple parts?  Not enough in part one to justify a part two.  
Quite a few reasons actually;
1. I originally meant it to be a teaser and overveiw for a multi-part set. I don't know if that will still work, but I have hope.
2. I was worried about word count, which I now realize was bit inane.
3. ElDo doesn't have the other parts; I still need to polish and send them.
4. It takes me time to write, as I do my first drafts with pen and paper, then transcribe.

Sorry I didn't live up to your expectations, I'll try better next time.


QuoteNow, remember how happy I was about the semicolon up above? Well, the first thing I noticed about Border Patrol was that there was an incorrectly used semicolon in the second paragraph. But it's okay for I am liking the content so far. I am going to have to say that I believe the article could have been cut in half - the content just wasn't there. I also feel the need to note that most medieval kingdoms never patrolled their borders, secure in the knowledge that an army would have a hard time entering without somebody reporting it. I am, however, looking forward to the second article, as I think it will be considerably more full of useful information. I'm counting on you, Stargate525.
I hope you won't be disappointed, in grammar or in content (my English teacher would kill me). Thanks for the review though.

Oh, I have a question. Wasn't the island contest winner supposed to be featured this issue?

For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

Yeah, sorry about the confusion on that... and we'll probably go ahead and put this month's "winner" in the next issue as well.

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

Sounds good, Stargate525 - I look forward to it.

Matt Larkin (author)

Well, I just read through the guide and I thought it was really good.  I actually think we should have more interviews with prominent guild members, that was really interesting.  It also serves as a good way to showcase signature settings.

Good work, and thank you to all the people that worked on it.

Captain Obvious

So, just starting to read it through and would just like to say "Holey awesome batman! who did that cover?!"
The dual kama skele is soo cool, and that swordsman looks crazy enough that i'm starting to think maybe the skele is the good guy.

more comments when i finish reading.

Nice work guys! (i totally will try to make something for the 4th one)
