  • Romanian History, Geography, and Culture - 9,000 words
  • Romania's Twilight War History - 7,000 words
  • Major Faction - Romania (military and government) - 9,000 words
  • Major Faction - NATO - 7,000 words
  • Major Faction - Warsaw Pact - 11,000
  • Minor Factions - 8,000
  • US State Department - 7,000
  • Running Campaigns in Romania - 7,000
  • Supernatural Options - 6,000

(I'm not listing word counts for the rules material because careers, weapons, and vehicles get screwy when assessed by word count.)

Again, those of you familiar with PNW will find the organization of many of these sections to be broadly familiar. It seemed to be a successful template, so we scraped a lot from it when we assembled the project outline for Tara Romaneasca.

You need to lay off the large print criticism mister! A man can have perfect vision his whole life and then one day, after passing the age of 50, he begins to notice that his arms aren't long enough to read the morning paper anymore. When that begins to occur, that large print becomes more welcoming... at least until he breaks down and goes to WALMART and buys a pair of "cheaters." One day, you'll be thankful for large print formats!
