Started work on r21.
Here it deviates from the 1:1 square to mile scale of the module's wilderness map to seemingly use miles not as a measure of distance, but as a measure of how much traveling a party can do in a day. I think it would improve the module to just replace these rules with the ones from the core book that seem geared to do the same job, but are a little more clear and also include the interesting option of conducting forced marches. I won't reproduce them here, but they're on page 38 of the core book.Example: a party can move 12 miles in a day. They
walk up the road two squares (2 miles), travel
through the forest for 3 squares (6 miles) and enter
one square of a swamp (3 miles) for a total of 11
miles of movement. If they are surrounded by
swamp and forest, the GM can credit them with
an extra mile of movement the next day, or
otherwise handle the remainder of 1 mile.
There are a number of spaces in front of commas you might look at with a global replace. Such as page 12 or so the special table:

Your paragraph is running off the bottom of the page, and you want it all on the next page... so you press ENTER at the beginning of the paragraph to push it down.jdn2006 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 04, 2018 11:42 amHuh?Solomoriah wrote: ↑Mon Sep 03, 2018 4:10 pm It is almost never necessary, nor a good idea, to press ENTER in LibreOffice to push something to the next page.

I do not eat dog biscuits and no longer use LibreOffice and let paragraphs run off the page as they wish in my own work. As for the materials I submitted previously I no longer edit them. The tendency to change rules and oblivious comments on formatting in the past with oblivious lack of specifics makes it too annoying for a pastime.Solomoriah wrote: ↑Tue Sep 04, 2018 8:08 pmYour paragraph is running off the bottom of the page, and you want it all on the next page... so you press ENTER at the beginning of the paragraph to push it down.jdn2006 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 04, 2018 11:42 amHuh?Solomoriah wrote: ↑Mon Sep 03, 2018 4:10 pm It is almost never necessary, nor a good idea, to press ENTER in LibreOffice to push something to the next page.

Bad dog, no biscuit. If you want the paragraph to stay together, you use the paragraph options to keep the paragraph together. This way, when the document flow changes, you won't have to find and remove that extra blank paragraph.
