Sorry about having such a big picture on the main page Zoatebix mate. I'm just so used to broadband, and the people I asked about the site on msn all said it loaded virtually immediately, so I never thought much of it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />Basically all I need to do is copy up the last notes I made tonight and we are virtually there, except for the following details.1. I cannot update to the new Dungeon magazine/DMG 2 format. Even though someone was kind enough to send me the previously requested fonts (ScalaSans Bold and ScalaSans Italic), and they worked great, it then became apparent that they did not integrate well with my ScalaSans LFRegular. LFRegular looks identical to ScalaSans Bold - how was I to know.   <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" />  So if I don't get ScalaSans tomorrow you will all have to wait until a revised version is done before I can change the format for individual characters. This may be something to undertake with regards an update. So if there is a version a few weeks down the line fixing any errata I can always update the unique character format too.2. The cover needs a background to diffuse the flat colour. At this point in time I am thinking of having a black cover with gold text. With the image roughly across the middle. However I need some sort of appropriate background image which I can make 50% grey and set on top of a flat black.This raises the issue of whether or not a very black heavy cover is a good thing for a pdf to have. Its a bit toner unfriendly for anyone wanting to print it out, but then again how many people print out the covers to their pdfs at home? What do the rest of you think about this point? I tested every colour against the illustration and black background with gold text easily looked the best. For the Immortals Handbook itself I am think more along the lines of a predominantly white cover, but the current incarnation of the Bestiary appears to work best with black.3. As yet I have not changed the Adamantite and Mithril Dragon names to Titanium and Platinum respectively (sorry Alzrius mate). It may still happen, but only if I get everything else sorted to my satisfaction first sometime tomorrow.So basically I have about 2-3 hours of typing up notes. Then sort the cover background out and basically thats it.The revised format change is out of my hands, and the Dragon name change may happen but thats also optional.With regards where its going on sale. I think as of Monday morning I will have it on sale at my website, and hopefully by Monday afternoon I can have ENworld and RPGNow sorted as well.I have emailed Drivethrurpg, but as yet have had no reply. I couldn't find any links on their website about becoming a vendor so I was forced to email customer service and ask them how to go about it. With this unorthodox approach they may not have taken me seriously (I emailed them a week ago)? Maybe I should post in their forums. Does anyone know anything about becoming a drivethrurpg vendor? Its weird, because the other sites have easy to follow details but I just couldn't find anything about it on drivethru.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
