This is another in a string of very positive reviews for your game. That's really exciting to hear. As for the blank space, I can understand his objection. But like you said, that's a small thing. Who knows, if you ever revise the project, that blank space may fill up. :) Peace -Troy Grats, Jason! This is another in a string of very positive reviews for your game.

I liked the marginalia (a lot), and when there was no marginalia, the white margins gave the text room to breathe. This seems like a common complaint, which occasionally gets on my nerves. I mean, God forbid that a page be less than totally covered in ink.... (Sorry. Personal pet peeve.) See, I really don’t understand the aversion to white space in a book.

I don't think that would have worked for Grey Ranks, since we were going for the sequential art thing as well (which I am REALLY proud of), so there were weird parameters all around. Something had to give. Yeah, I hear you.

That's certainly what happened at SJG. We'd do a preliminary layout with a general art guideline (like, 1/4 page of art every 4 pages), see where the heading breaks gave up space, and fill in from there. I'm glad you kept the margins.
