Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

[HalfOrc HalfBiscuit]

I've only had a quick glance at the .pdf so far, but it looks very nice indeed.

I have read the intro - very evocative!

I look forward to (re)reading the rest and reminding myself how it all started ... when pits and rats struck fear into the mighty heroes of Glynden !!

I'll be seeing how well this converts to Palm Pilot size as well. I'll end up reading it either way.

Nicely done! I like the pictures, background and particularly the "box text" for GM commentary. Top notch job!

Thanks! I have had the full version of Acrobat for 2 years...figured it was about time I learned how to use it!

HO-HB,

Thanks for stopping by. Sometimes I forget how long this SH has been around. I started it in mid-2001 (about 4 iterations of the boards ago). The badly-out-of-date (and badly edited) compiled SH word document I have weighs in at ~ 115,000 words and includes only about 1/3 the SH!

Thanks for the comments and taking the time to read.

Greetings Gang!
A number of people have commented in this and other threads that they would love to dive into Faded Glory...but the sheer number of posts intimidates them, so I thought I would give this a try.

I know there are a couple of typos...but this is the first "official" .pdf I have created from scratch. Let me know what you think!

I think it was well worth the effort. Easy to read, and highlights the excellent and evocative milieu of your campaign world. A great primer for Faded Glory!

The images in the story converted pretty well. The story overall converted well. The background image seemed to only transfer over to page 11. This was good and bad. Good that it only affected page 11, bad that it converted the whole page to an image, which is virtually unreadable, unless you tap down and view the image up close. It cuts out some of the text around the edges.

I don't presume to know how the program converts the .pdf, you can download it for free also. There is a small error when converting, saying that it isn't a tagged .pdf.

Does anyone else use Acrobat for Palm devices?

Regardless, I'll be re-reading this while moving around the state. Thanks for the DM's comments as well.

Pogre,
