Just out of curiosity(maybe I glazed over it too quickly), but how do we advance characters in Broomstix? I know, I know... they go on to the next school year. Har har. Seriously, other than learning more, do they gain points to increase skills and aptitudes? Or is this something you intended to leave up to the Headmaster(s) of the game?
Also, I just finished reformating you text into a Quarkxpress file, with interior background graphics and a cover. If you would like to see it, I can send you a pdf of it. I just didn't want to drop a pdf in your email from a complete strange, which I still am.
Nice work btw, on the game. Heck, all your games for that matter. Been playing(stealing) your stuff since you put up Pulp Era.
Thanks again for your hard work.

Advancement:
Hmmm...excellent question. Well, your Magic aptitude would gain +1 per year past the first. And...hmmm, it's been awhile since I've looked at Broomstix. Let's see...how about, every three years you gain +1 in a non-Magic aptitude and every year (on your birthday!) you get 1 point to place in *any* skill.
How's that?
As for the book...hell yeah! :) Nice to know people actually read/play this stuff.
Done.
I'll send it over when I get to work in a couple of hours. Real slow couple of days, so I'll spend some time creating a character sheet too.
As for the advancement... sounds good. I had thought of something like that too. My daughter(8) had also suggested something like that. "Can't they be different after their birthday" is what she had said. lol...
Thanks,
Bobby
