I should be able to send early this evening.
When I decided last night that it was time to stop faffing about on the web=
and check the files, my laptop started misbehaving (as it has been the las=
t couple of weeks when I ask it to think too hard, like edit photos). I hav=
e backups on an external drive, as well as near-final/final LaTeX files in =
Hotmail, plus Andrew W probably has them too (as he generated the PDF).

Once it is in epub it will be in any ebook formats within a moment.
So who is going to send me a file?

Hopefully that conversion is fairly straight forward, I'm guessing that aga=

Should I ask at a couple of places where I mainly lurk which have lots of p=

They can probably suggest tools that will be useful in the process, and sug=

How about mobi (for those of us who have Kindles)?

--14dae93996d3d1ab5004d0afe9b1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I wasn't at the Guild Meeting, so I wasn't there to hear this. I do not support the idea of reducing Racial Taxes. In fact, the only suggestion I would entertain is increasing them. The reason is that experience is earnt in a linear fashion. On the other hand, it is spent, in alsmost all cases, in an exponential fashion. This is certainly the case for Magic, it is my analysis that the costs for Skills and Weapons increase at a rate congruent with a Fibonacci sequence, which is, in any case, approximately exponential in nature. This means that the cost of advancing increases at higher Ranks, and therefore the effect is, when compared against a linear rate of income, that the inhuman will only be a few Ranks behind. Assume a human has advanced a 100 Exp. Mult. spell to Rank 20 at a cost of 21,000 Experience. A shapechanger would only be able to spend 15,000 Experience. It costs 15,300 Experience to raise the spell to Rank 17. This is a rate, which means that because of the increasing costs of Ranking, the distance that a shapechanger will lag behind a human is going to be about 3 Ranks. So, my objection is that the advantage of being human is nothing *other than this*, and I don't see it as being a particularly powerful motivation to be human. Any process that diminishes the one advantage (such as it is) that humans can have is an in-game motivation to choose something else. --14dae93996d3d1ab5004d0afe9b1 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div><font face=3D"georgia,serif">I wasn't at the Guild Meeting, so I w= asn't there to hear this.<br><br>I do not support the idea of reducing = Racial Taxes.
