    D&D 3E/3.5 Formatting/Page Appearance Suggestions and Tips For Publishing

    Can you give me an example of this? Definitely going to try Scribus. Can't believe someone else remembers PageMaker! Such a great program that needs a re-release without any addition of bells and whistles. Century Gothic is another good one. I do like to vary between two to three fonts (one...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Formatting/Page Appearance Suggestions and Tips For Publishing

    Absolutely. I think 11 might do to compress it a bit, and I feel the same about the tan parchment color. I wanted to do some kind of page border or flourish, too. Artifex is great for a bit of an archaic look similar to times family but a touch of whimsy without being difficult to read. I’m...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Formatting/Page Appearance Suggestions and Tips For Publishing

    So, I'm thinking of publishing on DTRPG, but I want to make my stuff splashy. I have access to CorelDraw, so I can do some stuff, but it would have to be graphics that I'd then import into another program. I'd like to have page decor and other decorative elements, but my skill list with...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Massive Skill List (With Descriptions and Art)

    You're very welcome! ☺️ I hope to put more up, too. This is the foundational stuff so I can now begin building some NPCs. I was toying with the idea of using regional feats, too, but I haven't made anything concrete yet. I can always tweak the feats I put in place for now. I want to make Atlán...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Massive Skill List (With Descriptions and Art)

    Wouldn't section 8 have, "All proper names, Logos, Company Names, Images, Graphics, are product identity all other content are open gaming content. Open Content is the designated as follows: All the skill uses presented in this product, including examples of their use?"

    D&D 3E/3.5 Massive Skill List (With Descriptions and Art)

    Even if I don't use all those sources? I'm assuming only the sources used get a listing. Well, I'm always accepting contributions to pay actual artists, and if any artists want to donate, great! Otherwise, I work with what I can afford. And Gemini is actually pretty good as far as eliminating...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Massive Skill List (With Descriptions and Art)

    Well, I finally did it. 118 pages of collated, collected, curated and columnaded skills and their descriptions in preparation for making my own NPCs for my campaign world. If any one would be interested, I'll leave a link for downloading the PDF. These are collected from the Player's Handbook...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5e/PF/OGL Low-Magic Campaign Resources and Ideas

    Ah, but see, my world is a divergent world. Yes, shopkeepers may be aware that someone invisible could come in and steal, but they're not worried because most people who practice magic are either far away in the High Council or are hedge wizards and witches that are known locally to dabble (and...

    Publishing Questions For 3.5e Compilations

    I appreciate the responses! Yeah, and they have a skeleton of mechanics to deal with mining, just enough to muck things up. There's no supplements, either, which means this would likely make a unique hit on DTRPG if anyone wants to take a crack at it...lol Yeah, that sounds simpler, I think...

    Publishing Questions For 3.5e Compilations

    The issue is with their other books, such as their Races of Stone and Races of the Dragon, which I'm not sure are covered under the SRD...? I was looking specifically for mechanics for mining stone and ore, and using the Profession (Miner) they have in those. Another question (on a separate...

    D&D 3E/3.5 ISO Supplements For Mining and Profession (Miner)

    Yep, and I'm already using those. Can't believe no one has come up with a good set of mechanics for mining for 3.5e...feels like this is an underserved area. lol

    D&D 3E/3.5 ISO Supplements For Mining and Profession (Miner)

    Basically, looking for any books other than WotC's Races of the Dragon and Races of Stone as I don't have the money to buy a license from them. Need something that details basics such as time, materials, ores, tools, etc. Must be covered under OGL. Key Considerations: Profession Skill: The...

    Publishing Questions For 3.5e Compilations

    Crap. That was one of the books I wanted to crib off of for mining rules, especially the Profession (Miner) stuff. lol Know any sources of similar material that is OGL for mining in terms of production and ore? The only other books I'm using the stuff from are the PHB and the DMG, but again...

    Publishing Questions For 3.5e Compilations

    Awesome sauce. I really appreciate it. That's one huge name off the list, then, of Stuff That Must Be Checked For OGL Compliance. lol How hard would it be, in theory, to get licensed by WotC for 3.5e OGL stuff? I mean, there's still companies putting out OGL 3.5e material, so it can't be that...

    Publishing Questions For 3.5e Compilations

    I have a feeling attempting to parse what all is covered under OGL licenses for each book is going to be the sticking point...Trying to read their licenses is like trying to study caselaw. lol Having footnotes will make it easier...for me to go to each source. I'm more worried about other...
