Questions
Just got the edited chapters from Averil and will get going on the layout for those.
Got a few questions for everyone though:
a) What is the official title of the book now?
Complete Book of Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
Book of Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
Netbook of Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
Guide to Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
This is not only to get all the self-references right, I might slightly alter the cover artwork. I printed it the other day from a B&W laser printer, and the way the title is done right now, it's hard to make out the darker parts of the gradient. Given the page count, I would assume that a lot of people are going to print it from a B&W (laser) printer. Hence, I want to lighten up the words a little.
b) Introduction
As of right now, we have the preface of the original guide, and a short paragraph from Kolvar that states "In place of a real preface, that is hopefully written by someone else..." Does anyone have the ambition to come up with a revised preface or do we just want to leave it as such?
c) Generator Sourcecodes
Currently, the guide contains the sourcecode for the periodicals and prostitutes. While this is great stuff, I personally doubt that anyone will type it up and put into a page. How about a simple link to the generators on the site instead? We could also make the code available on the site for download or cut&paste.
d) Paper size
Given that almost all d20 material available on the 'net is published in US Letter format, I'd like to stick with that. Of course I could make an A4 version, but 1 version would certainly make my job easier. Since I never printed any letter-sized stuff on A4 paper, I don't know how it would come out. I know that printing A4 to US Letter is a pain, and many printers just automatically pick the bigger US Legal format, which is not only unwieldy, but also leaves a huge margin on the bottom. Could someone do a test-print of any Letter sized material on A4 and tell me how it comes out? I would do it myself, but I don't have any A4 paper. If you don't have any letter sized stuff, the layout preview on the site is done for Letter-sized paper.
