Color pics for Cardboard heros

[tiger]

Hey Steve

Any change of getting some of the color pics of Hero material. I like the Cardboard heros but prefer a tent style.

I doubt that the images are extractable from the PDFs of the Heroes for sale, so thought I'd ask.

I'm afraid I'm not sure what you're asking.

We're not going to produce tent-style paper miniatures.

We're not going to give away any more colorized character art for free, since we are now selling the paper minis.

I was wondering if you would be open to selling the color images to those who prefer tent style miniatures.

[Steve Long]

No, we're not really interested in getting into the images-selling business. We'd rather keep 'em as part of a product such as the paper minis.

Hey tiger,

If you prefer tent-style miniatures, you can always buy the Herogames paper minis and make your own tent-style miniatures. You may not be able to directly extract the pictures from the PDF file, but you can certainly screen-grab a piece of the PDF file when displayed. Acrobat scales images quite well, so you should be able to get them to whatever size you want.

Now, create a M$ Word document (or OpenOffice if Linux is your flavor) and build a table with the borders set up in a tent-style format. Paste the images into the Word document and print it out.

I have a Word document that I use for heromachine-based paper minis at my website. Link is here (http://www.saifa.net/champions/Cardboard.doc)

That's what I do too, although I have a RTF file. I didn't think about a screen grab

adobe reader 6.0 has picture grabbing built in. I grab drop in paint and then save as jpg (so it can go on character sheets as well) - I'll give the trifolds a try since some folks seem to like them... there might be something to it.

---- Time passed and I ran Champions today for the first time in years ---

The trifolds actually work pretty well since everyone around the table can see what each figure is supposed to be.
