Mostly for the record and for my own entertainment, going through the Hard Mode challenges here...
- No tables, but definitely have lists.
- I'm extremely confused as to what counts as "expository /prose writing" as opposed to "mechanics". How do you explain things without prose? So I have no idea if I met that challenge or not.
- Definitely a standalone product not based on an SRD, tho very seriously inspired by Realis and 2400.
- Basic rules alone, excluding character classes and optional rules, is 1900+ words. So I don't think I meet that particular challenge, though I tried to keep it breezy.
So, I think I met 60% of the Hard Mode challenges (giving myself a tiny bit on the exposition thing) and 25% of the Nightmare Mode challenges?
