Re: The 2020 Digital W23 Speculation and Discussion Thread
We (humans) are bad at putting ourselves in the shoes of someone who doesn't know what we know. So if we know what we meant we ignore minor errors like a sentence that doesn't make any sense.

This is why the person who writes the rules of a boardgame should not be the person who invented it.

I think making things clear is a primary reason for having editors and playtesters. Frankly, it gets me that before Steve Jackson Games or another responsible game company puts out a game or game book, it's typically been thoroughly examined for clarity and accuracy by more than one person. But when I get instructions for an important electronic device, the directions often aren't in recognizable English.

This completely ruins the grammar, and is useless for catching syntactical errors, but it's helped me a few times when there's no word processor software to catch my errors. Although I also find my most common errors are between the two valid words "form" and "from"... |

Re: The 2020 Digital W23 Speculation and Discussion Thread
Yay - this one deserves to be out, and I did wonder if there was a license issue preventing it.
I'm quite tempted to pitch a 4e update book for this...

Go for it. It could be a defining work in the "dirtpunk" genre.
