These PDF Chapters are copyright Amarillo Design Bureau, Inc. They are available FREE to anyone as Steve Cole's contribution to the game industry which has employed him for 30 years. The only rule is please do not post them on your web site (or any other web site) just link to this web site. That way, the latest version will always be here. If lots of people put the copy they download today on their web site, they may not take the time to replace it every time Steve replaces a chapter. (He replaces chapters whenever he learns a lesson, hears a lesson or a good story, remembers a lesson or a good story, is asked a question that has not previously been asked, or just thinks of something that people should know.)

Steve Cole is not perfect and doesn't know everything. Somebody somewhere knows a better way to do things, and if they'll tell Steve, he will include it in a future update. Steve would like "his" book to be a resource for the entire industry, compiling the experiences and lessons learned of as many people as possible
