    Have you fought of potential round breakups for Book 5? I have done so myself, and I have a hard time to break them in small chunks. I would probably do something like this:

    1. (673-698) Desert shenanigans
    2. (699-709) Team Evil
    3. (710-774) Empire of Blood
    4. (775-822) Arena
    5. (823-833) Team Evil
    6. (834-898) Girard's pyramid
    7. (899-936) Advanced Escaping
    8. (937-946) Epilogue


    ups, seems that I hit post reply instead of preview :/

    Anyway I wanted to add some thoughts to it: I think the Team Evil/Epilogue splits are pretty easy. But I have a real hard time to split the other parts. I really think they are too long (though The Battle of Azure City was pretty long, too), but I just can't find a spot I'm really satisfied with.
    I think that many of the divisions in rounds will probably fall along those lines, but I think there might be more rounds, as W&XPs had that many and it was a shorter book.

    I think 734 marks a logical chapter break.

    Also the chapter break at 863 to 864 sticks out like a sore thumb (I couldn't help myself on that one).

    Not so much a cliffhanger, but that we as an audience don't have to see the resolution of this scene. It works just as well to come back on them sometime later, with the tension here unresolved, but hanging over everything like an ever present cloud.

    As for why now? Well, the characters have been introduced, the tension between Belkar and the HPoH has been established, and we now have the ship headed toward a new, unplanned, destination. Furthermore, the verbal battles between the HPoH and Durkon have also been established, as has Roy's central dilemma.

    In short, the book has passed the Introduction stage. At least that's how it feels to me.

    We could see the voyage to Tinkertown, sure. Or we could just cut to their arrival. Or perhaps just before they arrive.

    IF Rich is planning a cut, then, as I said, this seems like a natural cutting point to me. Again, at least possibly. The 'camera' moves on to another group of characters, and then when we return to Team OotS, it is as they are approaching Tinkertown.

    ....

    Or not. We saw the caravan trek through the desert after all. OTOH, that was livened up by first a random encounter and then a nice Dune parody. Here, with them in the skies, I'm not sure if that is really in the cards.

    I'm most likely wrong here. But this is the first time I think we might have a potential scene break, and thus I commented on it.

    The finishing of the Ultimate Book Tournament, plus a couple of other disucssions on this board broke me in the last couple of weeks.

    Honestly though, it was already hanging by a thread for months. I think stubborness kept it up to a degree. In the end though, the F-it gene kicked it.

    So it goes, as they say.

    Porthos, beneath the "stat block" you write "56 [or some other number] pages to go until Book 6 is equal to the size of On the Origin of PCs."

    Can you please explain how that number 56 is calculated? I'm not seeing it. At the moment, Book 6 has 16 "pages, " while OtOOPCs has 122.5. This suggests 122.6 - 16 = 106.5 pages to go, yes?

    The only thing with 122.5 pages is the online portions of DCF. OtOoPCs has 72. 72-16=56.

    We have two guesses so far, both at 368 pages. For the same reason as well, I suspect.

    Still, Rich might just surprise us. So if anyone else wants to chime in, better do it PDQ.

    I actually think BRitF will have less extra pages than normal. Put me down for... let's say 362 pages total.

    If I was going to make a guess, that actually might be mine. I understand the "Rule of 16", but, I dunno. Just got a feeling it might be that. If it isn't 368, it's very probably 364.

    A useless measure, but not counting Book 6 because it's not print yet, all of the print books (plus kickstarter PDF stories) total at the moment 1683 pages of content.

    Book 6 brings us over 1700 so far - to 1706 pages and running.

    Just in case that's ever of interest.

    You know, I didn't even think to check....

    384 = 24 x 16

    Yep. Rule of 16 strikes again!

    That reminds me, I haven't updated my running charts on my home computer in ages. I really should do that.

    *goes and does it*

    Thanks for the reminder.

    For the record, I'm including Quoth the Familiar and Durkon Turned Undead in the "Bonus Strips" section for now. I might shift one or both of them into "Other Xtras" depending on how they look in the book. Leaning toward keeping QtF in Bonus and sliding DTU into Other Xtras. As said, it'll all depend on how it plays out.

    As an example, there was an out-of-continuity promotional strip designed to cater to store owners in No Cure for the Paladin Blues. That currently is under "Other Xtras" in the Advanced Block chart. The little vignettes sprinkled throughout Don't Split the Party are also in the "Other Xtras" section for that matter.

    Might simply come down to an issue of continuity to me. Yes, continuity is somewhat flexible when it comes to OOTS (and it's particularly thrown out the window in SS&DT). But I gots to draw the line somewheres.
