That is okay. Glad to review these and the 'Yes/No/Maybe' summation is a nice change of format and a bit punchier in style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I not only like those summaries, I also like the broken down content in smaller sections. In the past, my #1 criticism of your (otherwise very good) articles was that it was often a big uniform block of text without any separate sections or structure. Often there would be some implied structure (like a few paragraphs on the physical aspect of a book) but it was indistinguishable from the rest at first glance. Thanks again!

I will bear that it mind. I do have a structure to my reviews and yes, my paragraphs can be lengthy. That though often comes from longer books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incendiary Pig Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Thanks for the review, Pookie. It is quite a scary prospect to put one’s material in front of an audience, especially one as well-versed as the Runequest community. As the author of Tales of the Sun County Militia: Sandheart Volume 1 your review will help me in shaping Volume 2, which is on its way. I also wanted to congratulate all the other authors for being brave and showcasing their excellent work. I hope others follow suit. Best wishes Jon 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for this. I want to second the fanship of the Yes/No/Maybe summary at the end. It's really helpful and useful. It pretty much perfectly got what were we about and distilled it down to short sentences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
