DF PDF update. Please post what needs to be included.

[Leopold]

This doc is almost 1 yr out of date and needs a drastic overhaul. Anyone available to do this? Should we turn back to the umbria folk to do this or can we do this 'in house'?

[LRonKnieval]

You can kick that ball into my court,
Its no problem for me, just send me the source material and I can put it into PDF.

take the old .pdf and add in the new material...i am looking for the source material but i cannot find it..it's nowhere to be found..i have been trying to edit this .pdf but i cannot find a good editor to edit the .pdf so now it looks like we might as well overhaul the whole thing and start from scratch..

[Lichtenhart]

I don't know how acrobat works, but can you make it a text pdf, I mean, to make cut & paste a viable option?

[LRonKnieval]

Hmmm.
problem is I don't know/ don't have access to all the new stuff.
Lemme convert everything into a workable format first then I'll send you a copy.
I'd propose making it shorter and sweeter though.

Lets make a basic rules/setting book and leave the hardcore details seperate for two reasons.
1. I'd like to keep the downloadable version a reasonable size and it allows us to edit it easier (lets say annually)
2. the other information changes almost daily, we could do that as seperate downloads (either PDF or in MS word and appleworks formats (I'm a mac man so I'll make sure everything is cross platformed.

in anycase, i'll let you know when I'm done.

wonderful idea...

Now for divying it up into 2 parts why? I know that some parts change daily, but right now we have the core setting information done. We detail the strongholds and the PC building and some of the classes but leave off the new material that we are working on mostly the cities and the fiendlord realms. We make that the main product and the build on add-ons when neccessary and then recomplie when needed.

So 2 books:
1. Setting info: Strongholds, PC Building info, PrC's, etc.
2. Other Material: Monsters, cities that are not strongholds with patrons, fiendlord domains, magic items, etc.

Take a mindset similar to the PHB and the DMG. With a combo like that i think that would work. The PHB version won't change or change very seldom, but the DMG can be revised until perfect then pull out the extra material if neccessary and build another book (book of cities, book of monsters, fiendlord realms book, etc.).


Questions, comments, concerns?

[Lichtenhart]

Shouldn't we include magic rules and classes in the basic one? Ah and domains too?

This all fits under the PC Creation section. We can use the PHB type info for the 'gods'. A simple who it is, what domains it uses, and a brief bio on them.

Magic rules? Which ones?

I was referring to Imperialus' thread.

I remember a domains thread in the old boards. There were great ideas, but I don't know if patrons and fiendlords were updated after that. Do you still have it?

[Leopold]

are you talking about the chanter, jacker, and weaver rule subset? If so then yes i do have them.

[Leopold]

NOTE : I am going through the old .pdf with a pen and paper and making possible changes, spelling, realm additions, etc. There is a slew of typos in here and lots and lots of places I will have to have clarification just to be sure.

LRK: I will send you a .pdf with the possible changes maybe or via a doc with the proposed items changed. Everyone else is free to go ahead and contribute to this. I think with this massive update we did we can now revise this .pdf to bring us up to speed.

[Lichtenhart]

I was talking abot non-standard domains, such as

War/Blades He is the Lord Of Blades
Knowledge/Artifice He is the Lord Of The Forge
Death/Spirit He is the Lord Of The Dead
Travel/Shadow He is the Lord Of Shades And Shadow
Good/Celestial He is the Pure One
Law/Justice He is the Just Lord
Knowledge/Aberrations She is the Seer Of The Bygone Ages
Earth/Water/Air/Plant He is the Forest Walker
Insect/Animal: She is the queen of the rattling races
Fungi/Plant: She is the great goddess
Fertility: She is the mother of many
Chains: He is the chained god, the living and the dead serve him
Darkness: He is the lord of pitch
Shadow: He is cloaked in shadow
Good/Hope: The Hope Of The Lost
Glamour: He is still the beautiful one

There was a thread in the old boards with all of them. Do you still have it, or a transcription?

[RangerWickett]

We should also work on getting rules written up for what spells can and can't be cast because of the planar ban. I was going to do this, but I really don't have the time now. I'm really sorry about it. Would someone be able to write these out?

[Lichtenhart]

I'll give it a try.

[LRonKnieval]

I can peel everything apart, no problem... but what we need is consistancy.
I suggest that we be smart about the whole thing and take the reconstruction chapter by chapter.

That way nothing gets too crazy.

So what we all need to decide is what goes into chapter 1,
and then get ourselves an updated version of it that we're all happy with. then I'll make it into a PDF file and we can move onto the next chapter.
sound ok.

What that means for the moment, is we need a nice introduction.

I suggest that we be smart about the whole thing and take the reconstruction chapter by chapter.

That way nothing gets too crazy.

So what we all need to decide is what goes into chapter 1,
and then get ourselves an updated version of it that we're all happy with. then I'll make it into a PDF file and we can move onto the next chapter.
sound ok.

What that means for the moment, is we need a nice introduction.

So far the current Intro works well for me. A brief synopsis of what's happened before and whats going on. Could be a bit more grusome or otherwise hopeless, it's up to the group. We got a decent one and until someone says "I don't like it I got a better idea" let's run with it.

I wouldn't mind using the PHB layout for the chapters:
1. Races
2. Classes
3. Feats/skills
etc.

We can knock out the basic PC Creation and then move onto items, domains, spells, etc. In this regard the end user is familar with the PHB and they will take to it like a fish to water as the layout would be similar.

Definately move the setting info to the back, not neccessary up front as it isn't needed. Pull out the major players stats in each section and move it to the DM Guide. I like the idea of 2 books: 1 for players 1 for DM's. I am only on page 24 of the .pdf right now in editing and I most of it is good just needs to be reorged. That's why it's a draft document and not a full release .

Any other suggestions on the .pdf layout?
