Subject: [Gullivers] GTC nearing completion, three questions for you
Message-ID: <AB5BFD13F99E48EE94764561DE067D6E@mail2world.com>

Hi all,
Many of the Chapters of GTC are now written and have undergone initial
proof-reading/editing. 
I have a two questions and a request.

Firstly, I am considering splitting the current volume into two. THe
first will contain ALL of the rules you need to play including
Nationality aspects, maritime rules, details of the trading company etc.
You can run games with just this volume. This volume will be in excess
of 215 pages including the 95 page novel.
This first volume could be ready by February. 
The second volume will be primarily for referee filled with information
to be gradually released to players. This second volume would include a
timeline, almanac of the known world, pre-generated NPC's etc. There is
still lots more typing needed to transcribe my research notes into this
second document. I expect this to be released July 2010.
So...
What do you, potential players and rpg connoisseurs , think of this plan
to release in two volumes?

Secondly, I have written, proofed, and edited the document all by
myself. A sure way of missing typos and poor wording. Would anyone like
to help out by looking over one or more whole (text only) 'ready for
publication' chapters? Any comments, typo spotting, etc. will be
gratefully appreciated and appropriately acknowledged.

Finally, I'm planning on a full colour cover. I need someone who will
get the details of styles of dress and scale right as per the novel and
the 18th century. I want a professional looking artwork and have a
(small) budget. Can anyone recommend someone?

Subject: [Gullivers] 1/12 scale holiday snaps
Message-ID: <28c5101ca838c$504e9db0$086a010a@mail2world.com>

Hi all,
Having a great break, getting about 3-6 hour of GTC done every day (too
hot here for more). Managed to drag my pasty white carcass out to
Cockington Green miniature village and was pleased to discover it was
1/12 scale, just like Lemuel in Lilliput (except the architecture is all
wrong) or a Brobdingragian in England (except the fashion is all wrong).
THose of you who know me on facebook can see a few photos.
Anyway have a good break all,
