Heh, jealous much? Or just poor? 

I work 10 hours a week and I found the extra $30 ($20 + shipping) for the Limited Edition. Even if you don't like the stuff much, it's a great way to support Stardock, probably my favorite company in existence.

If you do need an editor or proofreader I am available. I did four years of technical writing back in the 90's and even if my skills are rusty I work for cheap these days as a returning college student.

Heh, I only found one spelling error unlike the rest of you (but then again I'm not a native english speaker.) It's in the last image on the second page.

And what's wrong with starting sentences with "and"?   I've heard it should be avoided but I've never gotten an explanation as to why.

And the creature names should definetly be capitalized. It doesn't matter at all how we spell things IRL.

I absolutely want the Limited Edition but I don't want to pay 20$ in shipping....and here in Sweden we might get a different Limited Edition....20$ just for shipping....but it might be worth it for Elemental....

Almost forgot, I like what I read.

You should put up an ad for a job as the company Whipping Boy- see how many applicants you get.

Usage and style are situational, not absolute. They're especially flexible in fiction.

Capitalization of proper names of species is a common (but not universal) convention in the genre. And while I would also change 'smarts', to my eye the issue isn't that it's non-standard, but that it's anachronistic. It sounds modern, and so it's probably the wrong word in something that's presented as an in-world document.

FROGBOY!!!

I'm tempted.  Show us more of the cool stuff that comes with the $20.00 upgrade please. 

Limited Edition Extras:

• 18"x26" Elemental Poster
• 18"x26" Cloth map of the Elemental world
• Extended print manual
• Elemental music CD
• Pewter Elemental dragon

Screen shot of the pewter dragon (or proposals for it)... dimensions?

How about 1 sample song from the music CD?

What am I missing?

I would love love LOVE it if Elemental had the same kind of Lorebook that Warhammer online has - everytime you get into contact with something, it appears with a small story attached in the lorebook. Simply such a great moodsetter.

do you hink that the shipping costs of A$25 are INSIGNIFICANT??

it is large enough that the australian tax office AND the import office will probably try to put their own extras into the cost @ 10%gst +trade duties(????how much we do not find out until receipt, but might be as high as 40%). BLODDY rudderless governments

It's cool that he's working for you guys now. He was pretty much the only PC game journalist worth a damn on both those sites.

The pictures for Troll and Ogre may have been switched ... just as long as Ogres look bigger and tougher in game, the picture comparison might not have translated well.

And as far as different species that are very close in Phenotype, I don't mind a difference/ diversity. For me its as  cool as Ogre vs Bone Ogre, or Black Widow vs Rock Spider, or Forest Drake vs Swamp Drake vs Mountain Drake vs Shard Drake.

anyways, its a difference in preference. Differences in strength, speed, rarity, environment, and (habits?) is a bit of a plus for me ... and there is already a variety of physical forms in place, so a few "closely resembling" species is perfectly fine. Also, anything slightly related to a Dragon will have a similar appearance ... and thus far Drakes, Slags, and Dragons are all cool in their own right (and the smaller ver. of Drakes sound rather cool as well).
