Wow, my first ever Google fail! Thank you for the tip, I have uploaded it to: http://www.maison-de-stuff.net/rob/icar/icarv4a.pdf

Rob I managed to get if from Google site..

and I have to say Dess-Kay-Dar, as shown here will fit in nicely with where we went with it I think..

[Rob Lang]

Werdly, you can download it from Google if you hit 'print' as it then downloads it. If you just hit download, it doesn't always work. Nevermind, I'll be leaving both links up there for now.

I'm starting to read the Alfa Version.

So far, so good. The text is easy to read and understand, I like very much the disposition of the topics. The only thing I have to say now is: Thanks for removing the triangles, circles and squeares from the discs!

I will continue reading in my little free time to give useful feed back!

[Rob Lang]

Maledictus, thank you very much for wading in. There is a lot to read (about 100k words last count)!

It was a hard decision to get rid of the triangles, circles and squares but in the end it did not add much to the game except individuality and a barrier to those wishing to learn.

Which reminds me... please note that there will be a new equipment index coming too ... it needs to have a lot of triangles, circles and squares removed from it!

Another comment made by a long time player (Dwain - come on, get yourself an account!) was that the different sections (Background, Bionics, GM, Scav Setting) needed bigger section identifiers. I checked a few other games on my shelf and I was thinking of doing a full-page image for each one. Is that too much space? Perhaps have a little overset text on top of an image?

I think Dwain is right and the main section should have a little more but I am not sure what form that should take just yet. Any thoughts?

[Naji]

One page for the GM section would be nice, but little images and titles are fine for the rest, I think.

[maledictus]

I have to agree that you should make bigger identifiers, I not always was aware that I was reading a new chapter. A full page picture would look really nice, perhaps with the tittle of the chapter in some part of it.
