OOC: D20 Modern Supers: The Orange County Eight (FULL)

Yeah, getting the picture onto my pc with no graphics programs or screen capture ability does make the first part kind of tough. 'Course, I could just be missing something simple. Very possible.

If you've got windows PC , it always comes with PAINT in the ACCESSORIES. Then you just hit PRINTSCREEN button with the picture visible on the monitor, then open PAINT, then PASTE. You'll have the picture. After that just cut and paste around until you get what you want. Save it as jpg, load it up on a website and ta-da. ;p

If you are an idiot like me, that won't be enough.

I couldn't cut my picture in Paint and had to get my girlfriend to do it for me.

Paint is terrible. I've seen better shareware. Of coures, Paint is the only thing I've got on this PC. Paint Shop Pro usually sells for around $100, and while comparable to Photoshop it is actually quite affordable (vs. what? about 500 or so for Photoshop?). I should probably go buy it myself

Garyh,

I've got my picture done, but I'm having a terrible time getting the picture to attach, etc. Would it be possible to e-mail you the save of the hero data and have you post the picture?

Keia

Sure, you can e-mail me the txt file for you hero, and I can post it on the boards. My e-mail is in my profile.

My girlfriend luckily owns a copy of Adobe Photoshop (she needs it for her job)

When I explained that I didn't know how to cut off extraneous white space from a jpeg she just laughed at me for a while. Ah well.

Paint does, indeed, suck though.

I'll try and look but (no offense intended) its not the easiest thing to read especially for a speed reader. LOL having to move the scroll bar up and down over and over to read the columns in pdf form gets me woozy.

Hey I have a piece of future advice for anybody writing pdf documents! Don't overuse columns when you've got alot of text paragraphs. It splits up the wording and makes it difficult to skim on the computer.

I usually read on the computer too, but after our first book, we found out the majority of people seem to print out the books, so overall columns were what we decided was best. Then again I'm lucky, because I have the raw text available whenever I want (and I'm working on the revisions for d20 Modern right now!).

Oh, and if you folks manage to get at least . . . oh, I'll arbitrarily decide on 3 weeks. . . . Yes, if you play for three weeks with these characters, they will make their way into the Big Book of Super Powers as members of the rogues gallery, if that's cool with you. So don't let us down. We'll even try to get some better illustrations than what Hero Machine can provide.

Thanks Garyh for posting my picture. Had trouble getting it to display from my save location in yahoo groups. I think I'm the only one looking real superhero-y in the group so far.

Getting really pumped to get this going. Anything I need to do yet?

That's awesome, RW!! Say, um... there wouldn't, you know... be a way to mention, the, er... GM somehow, would there?

BTW - This means get crankin' on those PCs, everybody!!

No problem, Keia. I think you're fine for now. Heck, [unsubtle]you're WAAAAAAAAAAAAY aead of most of the group.[/unsubtle]

Oh, that rocks so hard, you can feel it in your BONES!

Tres cool, RW.
This certainly gives me motivation to get the soon-to-be-legendary Jack of Hearts out of the corner of my mind and on the page.
Course, he's already a legend in his own mind; might as well let everyone see how Swashbuckling, Adventurous, devil-may-care and Seductive he knows he is.
