Hanrahan, the headers at top of columns appear that way because they adhere to a baseline grid.

Second-and-following paragraph indents almost certainly will stay indented, but they will be made consistent, for sure.

Stat blocks are up for tweaking, though, I’m pondering some alternate approaches for them as I take in all the various layout feedback I’ve heard.

It looks great, overall – I’m really looking forward to getting hold of it when it’s finished! I have a few small suggestions:-

You sometimes have an indented first line on a second paragraph (for example, in room 5). Can I vote against this, please? The space between the paras is enough to distinguish them , I feel.

When a column has a heading (i.e. a room name) at the top, this makes it sit lower than the adjacent, heading-less, column. Can this be adjusted so that the tops of the columns are level?

Finally, I wonder if the overall appearance might be improved if the stat blocks were indented just a little bit from the left?

Thanks for this great preview!

I almost didn’t learn about this, but am so glad I did. It will be so good gaming SR in its first IC decade again. Bug City, The Laughing Man, Captain Chaos, etc. Also, I’m sure working with the decker’s matrix is a lot easier for the designers than trying to work AR into the 3rd person iso view they’re going to use.

I’m excited about this, both because of what it means for Shadowrun but also because of what it means for similar crowdfunded ideas. I also felt the little tinge of initial sadness that none of the material I worked on would be part of this, but I would have made the same decision on setting it at Shadowrun’s roots. I’m not really surprised at how successful the Kickstarter campaign has been; Shadowrun has a really deep fanbase, especially the traditional, old-school Shadowrun that has a nostalgic place in a lot of people’s hearts.

Seeing news yesterday that this was a possibility blew me away, and I was very excited to check earlier today and see that they had funded. Great to see how big a crowd I’m amongst for wanting this to become real!

I was/am part of the ShadowRun community on LiveJournal, when I saw the link for this and the name it reminded me of that community. I haven’t checked it in forever. How goes it man?

[...] Tuesday night I started reading Adam Jury’s blog (GenCon tips) and realized if I wanted to network with people I really needed business cards. And my work cards [...]

Such a perfect retro-nostalgic design! It reminds me of the sci-fi pocket books I used to take from my father’s bookshelf to read.

I would have never thought that stars on a green background would work.

But that’s a jump off the shelf in gamer’s hands cover.

I am super-pleased and anxious to see your touch on one of my favorite RPGs, Adam. Monies for multiple copies already set aside.
