Excellent question! (To be honest, until I saw this post, I didn't even realize that there was a "Downloads" section! ) Would it even be appropriate, given that this project will continue to be updated on a regular/semi-regular basis? If anybody knows, feel free to say so!

I'm still waiting for more feedback regarding Portrait versus Landscape format for this project. I've already mentioned all of the major Pros and Cons above, I believe. How do you guys and gals want me to proceed? (I don't believe that GMforPowergamers is the only person with an opinion!)

I second both of these comments. I do however think that if you experimented with the formatting, that you could accomplish more than you are currently. If you'd like, I could possibly take a stab at some changes.

No opinion at the moment regarding portrait vs landscape.

However, I wanted to toss my hat in to say my opinion on the alchemy thing -- a) I don't think it belongs mixed in with the rituals (you have different people who'll want the two seperate pieces of info) so alchemy should be its own index, and b) it's not worth actually starting an index for it since there is currently only one source for it (Adv Vault); until such a time that they start releasing other alchemy stuff then sure it would be worth the effort to make it as a seperate file

I favor landscape.

I still haven't figured out how to submit something to the downloads section. Maybe you need to contact Morrus or a Mod?

Okay, guys! Regrettably, it's project and midterm season at school, so I likely won't be posting any updates until at least next weekend. (I just don't want you to think I've abandoned this project.)

In the mean time, please continue leaving feedback. It helps a lot!

Also, special thanks to all those of you who have Nominated this project or left me XP! Thanks, team!

Generally, I agree with you. For example, I know that if this was for exclusively my own use, I'd probably use a much smaller font and get rid of the margins, in order to fit more info onto each page. OTOH, I also like printing things double-sided and putting them into a binder, so preserving the margins is important for hole-punching. Overall, I feel there's method to my madness.

I'm going to play around with the font next time; the one I've been using so far looks kinda odd (distended horizontally?) when I actually convert to PDF.

I absolutely appreciate any suggestions you can offer, Khaalis! That said, I consider this my pet project, and I'm quite protective of it, so I hope you can forgive me if I politely decline your offer to work on it directly. However, I am willing to give you a "Special Thanks" credit in the file if any of your suggestions improve this project. (Same deal for anybody else who's got wisdom to offer!)

Hopefully, this arrangement is agreeable to you, Khaalis.

These are pretty much exactly my thoughts, fba827. Also, after having briefly experimented with the idea of having Alchemy in the same file as Rituals, I learned that my formatting would have to be different enough between each section as to potentially ruin the layout for both; thus, for simplicity's sake, they ought to be separate files.

Suffice to say, WHEN more Alchemy gets released, and IF I decide to undertake that project parallel to this Ritual project, THEN Alchemy will definitely be presented in its own file, barring some major change in my strategy for this project.

I solved the mystery, and I (tentatively) plan to upload the next update to the Downloads section!

Suggestions for Columns

I would like to see the Market Price and Component Cost added as columns.

You might be able to remove the "Check" column, and just add some code
elsewhere, such as an asterix next to the Key Skill to note check is needed.

It would be great if you could keep it portrait format rather than landscape.
You could narrow some of the columns and/or drop the font size so they fit.
The Market Price and Component Cost columns will not take up much space.

Thanks for the hard work!

Well guys, thanks for the interest, feedback, and kind words. School (and procrastination, I admit it) has kept me very busy over the past few months. Thanks to my D&DI subscription, I also haven't had much personal need for this project any longer. Sorry for having kept you waiting. (And yeah, I have been active on the boards during this time, but regrettably not motivated enough to update this project...)

Anyway, Tremorsense has started a project which I believe is a worthy successor to this one. In fact, it seems to have been created in the spirit of this project. It can be found here:
