Well, this is pretty damn big for a side project. Grabbed it and will take a look through. Thanks for doing this.

I've always appreciated the time and effort Blade puts into this, but the formatting (or lack thereof) drives me nuts.

I've cleaned up the latest version and put it into a more readable format. Hopefully this will make it easier for folks who want to read (or even contribute to it...including Blade):
  • DOCX (mostly so Blade can keep it pretty)
  • PDF (for the rest of us)
Blade, if you ever arrive at a final version, let me know and I can put a bit more effort into some of the remaining layout issues. Since you're still pumping out content, there's no sense in futzing with the formatting and pagination too much.

Update!

- Added a rule chapter with advanced reputation and social rules (untested)
- Added a gear + spell chapter (probably missing many things)
- A few fixes here and there (nothing major)
- (Badly) uses JesterZero's layout for easier reading

Next steps: a complete editing before proofreading and layout. It's getting close to the end!

I've updated the versions I posted before to reflect the changes Blade made in his fifth draft. It's still all his content, I just did some layout/formatting work, with a bit of light editing to make little things like capitalization of headings consistent.

Blade, as always, I appreciate all the work you put into this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cyber.gif)

I've been reading this too. I like it and sincerely hope to see this sort of thing keep coming in the future.

Makes me want to try my hand at writing my own fan supplement for the game.

A very nice document.

Might I suggest adding "Personality Cult" to the list of churches? That might also cover for existing ones like Children of the Dragon.

Thanks for your feedback. The "personality cults" is a good idea.

I'm on my girlfriend's Macbook, so I don't want to download any files, but I'll have a look when I get home.

But I would like to offer my reasoning on why many people don't grow their own food.
-The current Monsanto problem. Much of the Food is proprietary and does not self-seed.
-Lobbying from the megas has made the possession of heirloom seeds illegal and unregulated growth of natural food is considered by the law and the public to be dangerous, reckless and (shock, horror) anti-business.
-Environmental/Technological barriers to food production. Widespread ground pollution means food is unsafe to grow in a lot of areas. The technology for hydroponics, aquaponics etc. does exist and has advanced, but most of this tech is proprietary or flatout illegal for civilians to operate.

I really like the ideas like the Anarchist Black groups and the californian people's university (If that is the right name for it), so I imagine they have an underground railroad of seedbanks and natural farms hidden away, which would probably contribute to demonizing growers as Anarchist Radicals and Ecoterrorists.

@Sir_Psycho: I've mentioned most of these in the Food part of the SINless chapter, though I forgot to mention the legal issues. I'll fix that. Thanks!

Since authors keep bumping the topics advertising their creations, I guess I'll do the same...

I'm currently editing the final version (without the proofreading) so if there's something you'd like to see or to see expanded, now is the time to mention it!

Hi. The download link is broken for this file. Could you fix it? I'd like to have a look at this. Thanks.

EDIT:
I tried reading your Another Runner in the Night story as well, but it errors out after Page 2.

Ah yes, I haven't put my server back online since I've moved, and the server the webcomic was hosted on has some troubles.

For the webcomic, RC kindly offered to mirror it, so you can find it here (both the introduction and chapter 1).
For Style Over Substance, I have a PDF I can send you, just PM me an e-mail address.

Cool ! Thanks a lot JesterZero! (I have currently no access to the PDF file and a few people have been asking me for it)
