Upper Krust, where are you? [Immortal's Handbook]

[Gez]

Hello Krusty!

Which is of course something I want feedback on. I am using a font called 'VTPomp&CircumstanceChiseled' for some of the headings, the larger headings look great but the smallest (in lower case) may need changing...?

You can see the font here, where it says "WHATS NEW":

The big What's New on the top, not the smaller in the left navbar ?

Well, erm. I would have imagined something more solemn in a book about divine immortals.

It's hard to judge without seeing an actual sample of the layout, however.

But indeed, I don't think this font could be used for titles below chapter level.

A double post ? Argh !

Hello Krusty!

Hi Gez mate!

The big What's New on the top, not the smaller in the left navbar ?

Yep.

Well, erm. I would have imagined something more solemn in a book about divine immortals.

I have tried a number of different fonts. Short of 'ripping off' Planescape that was the font I was most comfortable with.

Firstly its interesting; second, the duality of it represented the relationship between mortals and immortals (the joined lower and upper case); thirdly it hasn't been used before in a d20 product so it has a unique identity.

It's hard to judge without seeing an actual sample of the layout, however.

I have the pdf for the CR/EL article already 95% finished, I'll have it done on Monday no problem...

...in fact this would seem a good opportunity to rustle up a few layout ideas and see what you all think?

But indeed, I don't think this font could be used for titles below chapter level.

What annoyed me was that smaller headings (using that font) looked good in print but not onscreen (for pdfs), so I was caught in two minds about it...then you find yourself needing two fonts that are complimentary...yadda yadda yadda

Roughwork

I like that one... I think it looks like the title font for the Penumbra sourcebooks by Atlas Games.

Yes, I think that is the one...

Hi guys!

Well I will rustle up a few variations for the CR/EL Article on Monday and you can all give me your opinions. Thanks.

As for the font . . . Have you considered "Caligula", "CAC Camelot", or "CAC Valiant"?

If you'd like, I can e-mail these fonts to you in a ZIP file. I have over 400 fonts on my computer, actually. I can send you any you'd like.

Hi Anubis mate!

As for the font . . . Have you considered "Caligula", "CAC Camelot", or "CAC Valiant"?

I must admit I am not previously familiar with any of the above (despite probably going through 10,000+ fonts on my travels). I'll check out the above and get back to you.

If you'd like, I can e-mail these fonts to you in a ZIP file.

I imagine they are probably all free downloads anyway but I appreciate the offer mate!

I'll check them out before deciding whether to download them or not. Its always nice to have a new interesting font until it comes time when you have to scroll through all the fonts on your computer to get to the one you want. Then its not so nice.

I have over 400 fonts on my computer, actually. I can send you any you'd like.

I probably have close to that myself.

If you have the Roughwork font you could always send me that.

(only a demo is seemingly available for free, which probably means I'll end up buying it sometime within the next week or so if I decide I like it, fortunately its only $12 so not much of an imposition).

Incidently the pdf examples will have to wait until sometime late Tuesday or early Wednesday. I miscalculated on the deadline for the Creature Collection 3 and found I had an extra day (today) which I decided to make use of. I ended up submitting 26 monsters though there were three or four I was never really happy with up to the end but decided to submit anyway*. Good luck to anyone else who submitted!

*hey if your not in, you can't win!

Just a thought on your idea of putting back the fighter bab to +1/level after level 20.

Your point was that it doesn't even do what it was meant to do, i.e. to keep the attack bonus of all character within the same range, and you pointed the exemple of the generic NPC in the ELH who have a difference of more than 20 in their attack bonus.

I'd prefer that you let it as it is, because some of my player who play mage prefer to have them wielding a bastard sword and gauntlet of ogre strength, instead of a wand of fireball and a pearl of power. i.e. those character have a difference with the fighter attack bonus of only the difference between their bab.

.....

hum....

BUMP!
