Still sure you want to do this Malrex?

Before I get to it, I want to make a few disclaimers:Malrex said:It keeps nagging me in the back of my head...I hate the layout on one of my adventures and I may update it. It was one of the first adventures I've ever done and I've learned a few more tricks since then so I feel I could really clean it up. Plus, I may just make it Black and White, get rid of some of the art/backgrounds, and make a POD option for it.
I've lost the files for it in my layout program, and I don't know if I like the maps in color so may have to redo those...bleh, a lot of work and a serious pain in the ass. But I do plan to make more Special Areas....so if anyone picks up Special Area: The Ranger's Hideout (its free) I'd love some hardcore feedback to improve it. You can message me here, or email me at themercilessmerchants@gmail.com or I'm fine with ripping it apart on its own thread on these forums as a learning tool for others.
Your input would affect a few more that are coming down the pipeline...some day (druid, bard, assassin, and warrior).
- I've never published anything D&D related. I have opinions, but no qualifications to back them up.
- I've got a heavy OD&D/1e bias/ascetic, so I'm going to end up telling you not only what I don't like about your product, but also (inseparably) what I don't like about the vibe of later-edition D&D.
- Everyone tells me I'm too wordy. I try to type text messages in full sentances and with proper punctuation. (...and make a lot of type-o's)
- I'm busy as heck right now, so this is going to be a slow reveal---just an observation or two each post, not a monolithic review.
- I'm well aware that Malrex in editing the next Footprints issue that I hope to have a submission in, so I expect there will be some shoe's-on-the-other-foot-now-ahole instant karma waiting for me (i.e. way it's easier to critisize than create).
Still sure you want to do this Malrex?
