Might be that projects with multible writers tend to that way. Individual writers are given the subject and a max page count with the book planned as around 400 pages from the start.<br /><br />I think the New World of Darkness core books suffered a bit from the same Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07243844590883423296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816649425171456382.post-40793772468444966472014-01-29T22:59:31.176+01:002014-01-29T22:59:31.176+01:00It seems like someone persuaded Phil to change the...It seems like someone persuaded Phil to change the name to Greenland Saga while he was here, and I agree that it has a better ring to it.
