My least favorite part of laying out a PDF is doing the charts. Especially since my Adobe Pagemaker from my old harddrive no longer works quite right with my new operating system. The charts are only printing every third letter now, right in the middle of the text no matter what I do.
So I just downloaded Cute PDF and some other free PDF production software and I'm going to see what works. I've been having good luck with freeware lately. I downloaded GIMP 2.6 last week, and I really like it. It does everything my old Corel Photo-Paint did, and the interface is pretty intuitive.
Today and tomorrow I'm going to spend learning Cute PDF and seeing if I can pull a few short releases together. If it works, expect a new adventurers essential release and a short Psi-Watch supplement: think a D20 version of Marvel Zombies. I'm almost done with the Eleusinian Covenant sourcebook. As it stands right now, it's about 30 pages, and is pretty much complete. However, I sorta have an instinct about when a sourcebook is 'done' and this one isn't quite there yet. It's missing one or two pages of text, one or two additional concepts.... hopefully I'll add those in and release it in the next couple of days.
After that, I've got another Otherverse America release on deck, focusing on the post-human porn industry. Should be a fun one. I expect it to run about 40-50 pages, and at about the same time I want to release another 10-12 page PDF on minor Lifer street criminals and that subculture.
Beyond that, expect some fantasy.
Anyway, talk to you all later.
Blessed Be,
CHRIS

can't wait to see what you have coming for us!
don't suppose that adventurers essentials release is the tents one I suggested a little while ago...
keep up the great work!

Not really. The first things I wrote were a couple of paragraphs on regular tents, but than I hit a wall. The project sorta mutated after that into Victorian-era science and tech, and than again into Alchemy.
I'll probably revisit tents later on, but I couldn't think of anything cool to say. I need a hook to tie the book together, and right now I really don't have it.
Talk to you later,
CHRIS
