Huge update! New cards, and less spelling errors! v20.09.08b

Whew! This was a huge update. I'm not even sure how much I've done because I've been working on it over a while and haven't tracked the changes properly. Anyway, here's what I do remember:

* I dealt with some typos.
* Changed language in a lot of places to be less academic. Worth noting that some academic game design terms are still in there where they are important (or explaining it without the term wouldn't fit on the card). If you come across a term you don't know, it might be something very useful to look up!
* Added a Press card about press kits and releases.
* Added a System Reference card about making an SRD for your game.
* Added a Crowdfunding card based on the Kickstarter advice from Riley Rethal and Trinity Knot Studio (check the project description for links).
* Added a Timing card about pacing and player engagement
* Added a Generation card about creating story elements and  sharing the responsibility of them.
* Added an Ecology card for considering environmental dynamics of a world setting.
* Re-added the Accessibility card, though I think I didn't update the project after removing it, so no change there?

SO YEAH. That's a lot! Don't expect to hear from me for a while, because I'm happy with where this is at now! In fact I'm gonna go get some printed. Also it takes forever to update this project. It's very fussy.
