Character Sheet Sampler
With each revision the Character Sheets having gotten simpler, tighter, and more refined. We've boiled the game down to its essence without losing any verisimilitude. This has been one of the most difficult parts to design. Creating a Character is now 3 Steps:
Done!
Here is a sample of some of the Character Sheets that will be included in the set:
I'm particularly happy with the way all your stats are tracked on a single bar at the top of the sheet where it is easy for everyone to see. Peril, Glory, Melee, Magic, Speed, Life - all on 1 tracker.
- Deal a Character Sheet to each player. (analogous to "class")
- Deal 1 Culture card to each player. (somewhat analogous to "race")
- Deal 1 Calling card to each player. (vaguely analogous to "alignment")
Done!

Art Prints?
Found this interesting little offer on page 6 of Strategic Review #1
Just imagine, for a pittance of $2.50 you could own such works as the mighty Dwarf:
The mysterious and powerful Elementals:
And the masterpiece, the sexy Amazon!
I love it! I wonder, did anyone every actually buy any of these prints? I noticed that by Strategic Review #2 these prints were no longer being offered.

what I really want
I have been reading through the entire Original Edition Dungeons and Dragons. I realize that what I want is the entire original edition republished in a professionally edited cyclopedic version. What I mean is this:
1. Professionally edited: all grammar, spelling, capitalization, and terminology made correct and consistent.
2. Organized: everything alphabetized and organized by topic.
3. Professional art and production values.
4. Comprehensive: everything from the boxed set to the supplements to the Strategic Review and Dragon articles compiled in one edition (maybe even some of the Judges Guild stuff.
But I don't want any changes made to the game. Everything as originally designed.
