Re: Style guide
A reminder, which I think is in the guide but I keep finding it anyway... it's not a +1 Longsword, it's a Longsword +1. Personal pet peeve perhaps, but that's how it was done "back in the day."

Actually it's not, I'll make a note to add it. I also didn't have anything in that section to bold and capitalize treasure items, I'll update that as well.
Re: Style guide
What is the preferred style wanted for measurements (feet) vs (')?

Re: Style guide
The words "feet" and "inches" are always preferred over the marks ' and "; those who live in areas that are properly metric may not be familiar with these largely American marks, and they are also sometimes hard to see in print. The ' is used for movement, as it is traditional and not generally subject to misunderstanding, but I'd prefer to see the actual words used for ranges, areas, etc.

I'm often amazed that the people who tell me that two spaces after final punctuation is "wrong" because it's "ugly" still use dashes... I find them VERY ugly.

Re: Style guide
The monster/NPC stat line example seems to have an extra "l" for Morale.

Re: Style guide
Good catch re-uploaded r11 w/ that corrected (not enough to warrant new release number)
