Don't laugh...
Not too long ago, SJG DID put out a real, published product in a 'scribbled crayon' kind of font, that they wanted real money for (something like $10.00), and it didn't have the page count, either!
It wasn't even a real RPG, but a 'parody' of such (as if we needed anything of the sort!), taht advised you (the Player, not a character) to get a gun, decide who was guilty, and what they were guilty of, and then shoot them!
Now, THAT, I find unacceptable, but not because of the crayon font! HOL (Human Occupied Landfill) is another that I find deplorable...
but I'm a content guy, not a presentation guy...
And, especially if it's a Word Document, I can correct the layout easily enough, if it ever bugs me that much...
What I can't correct are offensive or incomprehensible content, or a complete paucity of useful or entertaining ideas!
Besides, mass producing crayon scribblings would actually INCREASE the cost of the work, not reduce it, so who (besides SJG) would want to sink to that level?
