Re: Saga of the Giants
I forgot to put J.D.'s name in large print (it's in the copyright blurb but otherwise missing). I'll fix it up and repost it later.

I have looked over the current release, but once a new release with that intro text is put up I'll look it over again.Solomoriah wrote:Do we need to do another proofing pass? Chi has looked at the individual bits, right?
Probably I should look the individual adventure intros and summations over again to be sure they all make sense for a consolidated work.

Re: Saga of the Giants
I'm working on getting a new release uploaded. The layout is going to need a lot of work before this can go to print... but it's not like I haven't done that before.

Re: Saga of the Giants
I notice the dungeon key appears in several places... I'd prefer to show it just once, but if I do that, where? I'm thinking in the first section (Hill Giant Hall) should be enough.

Re: Saga of the Giants
Page 7, 16. Private Meeting Room: correct to "...the hill giant with 42HP;"
Page 18, 4b. False Door: change unalert to inattentive or such?
Page 47, Possible Random Encounters: change Harpys to Harpies
Page 82, 2. Guards: change imbedded to embedded? The former is technically as valid, but I'm used to the latter...
Page 92, 11. Humungous Scorpions: correct both instances to humongous
Page 128, 5. Spider Shrine: correct to humongous
Page 139, first full paragraph: correct to humongous
Page 166, Flask of Smoke: change smokey to smoky (with an e is usually seen in a name or noun, not adjective)
This thing is a beast; when it's closer to print candidate I'll be printing out for a full read-through and edit.
JD, can I presume you've used your HP checkbox tool on this? I will also check when I do the full read-through as well.

Re: Saga of the Giants
I'm posting a new version now with your changes. I removed the tags identifying which of the SG adventures each magic item was used in; there was no explanation, and someone coming to JN3 without knowledge of its genesis would be a bit confused by them. Since they seem to serve no internal purpose, I dropped them. You could use the search feature of the PDF viewer if you wanted to find where they were used, after all.
The stat-strings below the statblocks for the new monsters are inconsistent (Dark Elves don't have them, for example) and they aren't set in MonsterBlock style. I never liked that added bit when it was in the Field Guide. I think it was intended to make it easy to copy and paste a monster into an adventure, but honestly I'd rather see a separate supplement for that.
Anyway, we should either:
1. Put them in everywhere they belong, and correct the style, or
2. Remove them all.
I'd like J.D.'s opinion on that, as it is his module.
