Good point. But it's the kind of thing my own editor tends to give me grief about since it's usually classed with violent crimes. The especially pettifogging ones would note that the "or else" is a threat, and therefore a violent act of sorts.

Well, if it's any consolation, dude in the Thaumatology thread found two absolutely "d'oh!" editorial errors in eight pages, so I'm hardly the world's best editor. ;)

Of course, getting sick and having surgery while doing the edit likely didn't help.

You're better than most editors I've seen. Although given the nature of this thread, I need to ask the Brethren: Is a statement like this heresy if Kromm himself says it? :)

B.S.!You are one of the most patient people on the fora and I would bet the industry, whats more your attitude is tempered by (in my opinion) a no non-sense policy for people asking for help with the rules then disputing decisions that you take your time to respond to and clarify for them. In essence you the man*!

Nice work most High Editor

*No, I am not just saying this because I got GURPS Thaumatology...now just to find the dang time to read it :(

Quoted for truth. You are an amazingly tolerant person. What's more, you're a thoughtful one ... even when I disagree with your conclusions (which isn't often), I can always see and appreciate the reasoning behind them.

Your worshippers, however, scare me a little. And I wouldn't have it any other way. :)

It sounds like you just need to change religions is all...come to the Kromm-side of the Force...we have decoder rings. And cookies.

Isn´t this a bit like whether an omnipotent deity could create a stone so heavy that he himself could no longer lift it ?

Besides, He said "hardly". Which is obviously true, for He is it "easily".

That's just His way of showing that He, and indeed all of us, can and indeed need to get better. Even if One of Us Is Kromm.

O Kromm forgive my blasphemy! I humbly ask forgiveness! I shall go out and push GURPS Lite as a act of contrition, reciting the Tactical Combat section five times in your holy name.
