On a side note, can anyone please tell me why the grey star series was not popular? I mean, I am not sure it was not, since I thought it was really good, (i liked it better than LW), but I get the impression it did not sell well.

I loved the Grey Star series. However alot of people had animosity towards it because it was alot harder to complete than Lone Wolf. Overall I think that they were both equally good series. But it is very hard to make it through the Grey Star series without dying at least a few times.  |

The huge number of rules ambiguities, broken links, typos and problems render the series rather unplayable in their original published editions. Project Aon is undertaking painstaking restoration work to 'digitally remaster' the Grey Star series, as is evidenced by the vast number of footnotes and errata that we have compiled for the two released Grey Star books. Book 3 is soon to be released, and that has even more: more footnotes, more problems fixed, more typos quashed, more broken links redirected.

I did a BTEC in IT Applications instead. And that's virtually worthless now. Didn't help me get a decent job either.  Everything I know about writing, grammar, spelling and use of language comes from observing others and teaching myself, since English is never really taught properly at any level of compulsory schooling. Yeah, spend three years droning on about Shakespeare, but don't bother telling us how to use a comma. That makes sense. Just thought you might like to know. But don't tell anyone else, y'hear!  |

[...] English is never really taught properly at any level of compulsory schooling. Yeah, spend three years droning on about [XYZ], but don't bother telling us how to use a comma. Shh ... More or less the same over here! For German, and for English as well.  Whatever skill with English I have hails from lots of English novels and rpgs ... The Wytch-King |

I've had much the same thoughts. For what it's worth, I'm an Eng Lit grad, and I still can't spell my own name proply-like. |

Uh, oh. This seems to be turning into another one of those "Ideas about the Shianti" thread digressions. Oh well! P.S. @ WK: Not to mention, the Korlinium Pocket-Protector. Wouldn't want those sharp pens and pencils poking holes in your Kagonite business suit! ;D |
