Seaching for style guides
I am in the early editing stage for my game, and I have realized that I really have a style guide for my products. I was wondering of any of you fine designers and/or editors would be able to provide me with on or more of them? I would be overjoyed if I had a variety of different guides so that I might assemble my own.
Feel free to either post here, or to toss me an email at Genesisoflegend@gmail.com
Thank you!

I've used Chicago Manual of Style for so many years as a tech writer that it's ingrained.
As for typographical style (i.e. not grammatical), I vary based on the project, when doing layout and choosing fonts. Even then, though, I still use CMS typography guidelines for things like titles, emphasis, definition lists, numbers and units of measure, etc.

Gah. Well, based on my typo's in the above post I certainly do need a style guide. :) I might spring for the Chicago Manual of Style or I might hand-craft one. Probably the latter for financial reasons.
