Over all, I have to agree with Doug - there is a lot here. Michelle's article is the one that will see immediate use, but David's random roll tables for spaceship malfunctions was awesome. Steven, wrote another piece that requires more thought, but it's freaking amazing. Overall, great work.

Your designer's notes for the Silk Road are fascinating (so glad some critters made it in). I'm still trying to figure out how to use the book for my current campaign. My high fantasy campaign will benefit greatly when I finally come back to it as their are some Mongol-esque elves in it.

Grrr. I spent hours checking for that stuff and something still got in. Oh, my glob. :-/

I will think about if and how to review this; some of the reviews might get long.
You had a very direct hand in my article at least. :-)
