I hope you're not the one spellchecking the game book, rdonoghue, because there is no A in the word definitely. :P

No grammar stridency on the boards, please.
And, no, he's not. Rob types with flippers. :)

I know better than to reply to this, but I am going to anyhow. :P
Firstly, I typically would not be too troubled by a spelling mistake, but misspelling definitely happens to be a pet peeve of mine. He is also authoring a book -- A book I am decidedly interested in!
And secondly, it had nothing to do with grammar. Grammar is an entirely different beast from spelling. :P
rdonoghue:
Worth noting that in addition to definitely, I will almost always spell criteria incorrectly.
Just one of those things.

And if you even want to get mor convoluted there was the whole series of MUDS that were trying to become mushes. There was a cyberpunk mud we had up and there was the Dune Mud that was getting going abou the time Dune Mush was taking off. Of course that is if you avoid the whole furry muck thing that was starting, never did really understand furry.

Thanks to a posting last year on the WW forums, I was introduced to Dresden Files.
I'm running a Mage Campaign right now and just don't think it would translate well into a DF game. The system is too linked to White Wolf's view of universe and I just think that feeling wouldn't be the same. I mean FATE is the best system for DF. Right guys? Yeah that was an obvious kiss up attempt.
Another good generic RPG system would be the Hero system. Yeah I know it can be math intensive but it's still a good system. It's the system that I'm planning on using for the next campaign I run using the same setting I created for my Mage game.

Howdy.
I'm a technical writer by profession. I've worked with both Rob and Fred in that capacity. Both of them are entirely capable of making a clear distinction between "casual post to a bulletin board" and "professional product what we are selling for actual money".
Additionally, there is no risk at all that Rob and Fred will put out a product of anything but the highest quality. Your concerns are, to put it mildly, misplaced in the extreme. I would suggest reviewing some of their other game products for a sampling of what you can expect in any product with their names on it.
And, finally, pedantry has a place, and that place is not here.
