Theoretically the PCs, behind the scenes, need to explain just where the items they confiscate come from and just what their significance is to the case at hand. "Oh yeah, we found this on Dead Suspect." The PCs are lying through their teeth to their superiors. Call for Bluff checks. And if the...

That's a sweet mid-18th-century style font. The look I was shooting for is common about 100 years later—in particular, using a Scotch Roman (see here) for body text. Here's a couple free fonts that fit the bill; none made it to the final design, but they were on my list (and I've included the...

Hope everyone likes the finished version. It's nearly twice as much material as the previous adventure....

EN Publishing products are print-on-demand. No print runs. One customer orders, one physical copy is printed, bound, and mailed (by a third-party vendor). Three orders, three copies. Twenty customers, twenty copies. No orders, no copies (Heaven forfend). No "printings" or print runs at all; no...

Tested with Adobe Reader X and Adobe Photoshop CS3 in Windows XP. Open the Maps PDF. Open Photoshop. Switch to the Maps PDF. With the "crosshair" cursor left-click on the map image. It should be highlighted. Right-click on the map image and choose Copy Image (it should be the only choice)...

This sounds like something I can do for the revision, and going forward as well. Separate Illustrations and Maps layers coming up.

Fluid 4e: Gridless Combat. Rules I've pondered for just this sort of thing.

So far I am finding that taking measurements is much easier in the GIMP (GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program) than it is in Paint.NET. I add a layer, count off about 30 squares so I have a good "sample size" (I use the paintbrush on the new layer to "dot" the squares I've counted -- a new...

The OGL is only a factor for publishers. You're not a publisher unless you're publishing something. (Messageboard posts don't count as publications.)

I'm going to use the images Ryan sent me during layout, since those are the ones I'd be passing along in a theoretical ZIP file to accompany each future adventure. Now it's possible I'm barking up the wrong tree, but I envision a shorter workflow than the one in your blog there. In particular...

I'm going to download MapTool and do some testing with the original JPGs and let you all know what I find out. (I'm pretty sure the numbers in the OP are derived from those, and not the resized/resampled copies in the PDF.) Is MapTool the only program I should be looking at, or is there another...

All I can think of is the lead ogre from "Ella Enchanted." For me, that totally destroys the term as a piece of serious gaming jargon. ("We just did this. Didn't we just do this?") Reminds me of another limited-exposure neologism that isn't very neo... from the days when wizard/rogues were...

What if it were part of the filename?

You can copy the images using Adobe Reader. In Reader 9, for example, use the Select Tool, click to highlight the map image, right-click on it, and choose Copy. Then switch to Paint.NET and paste. (In Photoshop, if you create a new image it automatically sizes the image based on what's on the...

The letters are there, but tiny—if you're using the low-res PDF, they're almost entirely obfuscated by the loss of resolution. It's something I noticed late in the production cycle and didn't have time to do anything about. :( If it helps, the "W" markings are on the Berth Deck, and the other...

Also experiencing vast slowness and time-outs.
