Support text for NPC tables
so not terribly useful. Unless you are Tim with a laid-out version of the manuscript and are comparing it with the new text so that you only make changes to the laid-out version. That was the plan anyway. It is looking more like Tim will have to do it completely from scratch.
My suggestion for those wanting to track what's changed is to look at the ToDo thread - if it is marked alpha, beta, or done, it will be in the new pdfs.
Best wishes,
Nicholas
