Re: setting?

I was thinking the other day; we probably have enough background material between all of us to create our own setting.

Is this some sort of subtle proposal, kingpaul...?

Khur, have you sent out the revised book yet? If you haven't, no big deal, I completely understand that you're busy. If you have, then I somehow got missed. Not trying to pressure you, just curious.

If it makes you feel any better, I haven't received anything yet either... I got the impression there was still a little editring work to be done before it was being sent to us all...

*shrug*

that said, I may have misunderstood...

Copy is on its way to those who have requested it. That includes Wil Upchurch. The book is not "complete", but the little that needs to be done has little bearing on what you guys want.

Since everyone is antsy, I'm mailing it out!

Paul, you'll notice I took out any reference to Tantark in Ch'Tal's write-up. While colorful, this stuff has little context when Ch'Tal is separated from his pantheon. Therefore, it just seemed confusing to me. I was surprised at how much was devoted to Tantark's religion, since Kaob doesn't seem to be part of that sect.

Cheers everyone!

so, when is the release date on the PDF of this one?

That makes sense. I was just trying to flesh out the god; and, I'll admit, it was hastily done. Color me enthusiastic.

Did a quick read-through. Looks great. However, I've found some mistakes (no offense) on the quick read. Do you want these emailed to you or posted here? I'm inclined to post here so that others who might notice them will see its already been addressed. You're the editor, its your call.

 

[Khur]

I should have told everyone that I had not done a final read before sending this. Sorry, I forgot to mention that. This is just a semi-final construction so you can see what it looks like and let me know if I left anything out.

On the other hand, many eyes are useful. So, email me the mistakes, so I can have a personal reference. If you'd like to post them so others don't identify the same ones, please do. It doesn't really matter to me to see the same mistake identified, but it is a shame to waste others' time.

Thanks!

Since you've been so enthusiastic, eager, and helpful at turns, blackshirt5, I'm going to send you a personal copy as soon as the "non-art" version is done. That should be no later than mid-March, but probably earlier. I have other projects, so my design time may be limited.

I have to get a promise from you not to distribute your copy, though. Even though this thing is free, I'd like to get numbers on the downloads. Understand?

Does this sound good to you? Do you recommend we post the non-art version when it's done? My plan was to put the art/nonart together in a ZIP--one for screen and one for printing.

If you're looking for other contributors opinions then my vote is certainly for a combined art & non-art version in the same zip file...

that said, I am well aware of the amount of time involved in fine tuning text layout once art has been removed from of document, so I'm sure that if you don't have the time (or any further desire) to do it, no-one involved with the project will complain too much...

I only recommend the combined documents based on the number of statements I have read on these and other boards about the hassles of printing .pdf material that includes any serious artwork...

anyone else got any thoughts...?

To quote Poltergeist, "All are welcome...."

I agree with the idea that printer friendly versions are nice. (I'll probably do the printer version first.)

sounds good to me...

all said and done though, I think everyone who contributed to the contest and the netbook is really looking forward to seeing the combined product, with the final edit of the classes and characters and Jeremy's artistic interpretation of them...
