Why I Should Listen to My Wife

So I know I am impatient. I've been working on this project for a while and last night I wanted it to be done. I'd gone through it a bunch of times and it was golden. Ivy wanted to read through it and I said naw, it's golden. She said it would be a good idea just to go through it one more time before I posted it. Pppfffttt, it was all good.

Then Tenkar did his review, a generous review I might add. He said their were a handful of typos. There were, a handful by the second page. So back I went. I don't want others getting a typo filled adventure.

It's edited now. So if you downloaded a copy before 10pm last night you might want to get the newest one available. So my lesson learned for the day is, nothing is golden until the wife says so.

  1. Honest review Tim, that's all it was. There was no need to be generous.

    As for the typos, the beauty of PDFs is you don't need to destroy a print run to fix them ;)

  2. I didn't notice any typos, but I just got my copy a couple of hours ago, and am still enjoying the read.

  3. Read something enough and you stop seeing the words. My proofreaders and playtesters were finding "D'oh!"-level typos in Arcane Flavor and I've been reading and re-reading that thing for a year now.
