Is this better?

Makes me wanna redo the tech levels.

Misspelled common.

Combat armor should just be words, no hyphen.

Fun factoid, computer used to refer to the job/person using the adding machine, not an advanced calculator.

The "Weaponry" header should stop at Heavy (i.e., Computers and Communications aren't "weaponry", but have no header either). Similarly "Transportation" should stop at Space, and Energy has no header. But easier to read than the original.

[plazman30]

I think this looks a little cleaner

 

[plazman30]

And another variant

 

[Ildefonse]

I like the last one.

Cool project

I REALLY don't like this table at all. But I think the cleanup helps make it a little more presentable. I see what GDW was trying to do here. They were trying to fit more information into the margins than could fit. My rework actually raises the top margin a lot. But it raises it the same on both sides, so when you open the book to this page, it should look OK.

Why are there even rows for Tech Level 18—21 if they're going to be completely blank?

I have one last idea I want to try.

 

[plazman30]

Ok, last tweak

Those are for entering your own campaign's technology items: see p.8 of LBB3 "The technological level tables have several spaces or holes, and such gaps should be filled in by the referee or the players when they discover items or devices of interest."

I like the latest one better, as it separates the sub-headers from the headers.

I should really read the rules before criticising them.

Ok, sounds like I should make this into a separate PDF that GM can print out and write on. I keep forgetting Charted Space wasn't a thing when the 3 LBBs came out.

 

[plazman30]

Ok, getting the table to match all the other tables in the book

 

[Ildefonse]

That looks good; submersible is misspelled though

Fat Fingers Andy does it again!

That's what proofreaders are for, you're doing all the real work

 

[plazman30]

I realized this table does not match the other tables in the book, so I toned it down to use the same formatting as the other tables you've seem in previous screenshots in this thread.



Barring any more typos, this should be the "final form" of this table.

 

[Ildefonse]

Looks good, I like it toned down best.
