Re: Terror in Tosasth
Excellent! Thanks for the edits, Todd. The top post now has Revision 8. I have also fixed all references to Dwarves and Elves to be capitalized.

Re: Terror in Tosasth
You're welcome, Leon. If this is helpful, you may wish to change the empty line "Contributors" to "Proofreaders" on the credits page, and add Seven and I there.
I'll continue to work backwards through the document until Seven and I meet (or cross over).

Re: Terror in Tosasth
It's fine. I'm not sure if there's any particular guidance about ordering names, but it's definitely not alphabetical, based on the ones I've read and/or played. Maybe it's in order of volunteering (like you've done) or ordered from most contributions to least (which would be hard to track). This is only the second module I've devoted a lot of time to.

Re: Terror in Tosasth
I was wondering how Seven would like to be addressed and whether I guessed right that you are "Todd Lyon" and not "Toddly On". Maybe I'm right that Seven's last name is Eleven, and the order is actually alphabetical.It's fine. I'm not sure if there's any particular guidance about ordering names, but it's definitely not alphabetical, based on the ones I've read and/or played. Maybe it's in order of volunteering (like you've done) or ordered from most contributions to least (which would be hard to track). This is only the second module I've devoted a lot of time to.
I got your latest edits locally, and even found a couple more "the the" typos.

Re: Terror in Tosasth
Names are ordered in the credits based on chronology; first contributor first, then the second, and so on. For documents where I am listed as a contributor or editor, my name should always go last. When several contribute at more or less the same time, it's appropriate to sort their names into order alphabetically before adding them.
Also, Contributors are not usually listed as Proofers, and if an Editor is listed he or she is not also listed as a Contributor. Anyone on that list of creators does not get listed as a Playtester either. Artists are always listed in the Artists list even if they also appear as some other kind of participant (Contributor for example, or even Playtester).
Do these rules make sense? Not really. They are just how I do it. Everyone gets credited for the most significant/highest "ranking" job they did, with only Artists and myself being treated as exceptions.
