Especially since it will only get bigger with time. The DOC is only 4MB. eesh. Must be the default PDF Export on the Mac, I should pop for Acrobat and make a proper PDF of this....

If you'd like, I can try a couple of free PDF creation tools I have to see if any of them does a "better" job (it may save you the need to go buy Acrobat).

Wolfe-Chan Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Your "2006" Pet Gaming Projects Well I have given up on my Iron Kingdoms Conversion.... It was just not what I was looking for in Steampunk Fantasy so I have decided to start from scratch and do my own setting. Still working out a lot of the details and doing a bunch of research on diffrence and analytical engines and what I can do with mechanical computers. Still in the really early stages. If you have any suggestions for the Campaign please check out this thread. http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43054 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susano Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Re: Your "2006" Pet Gaming Projects I have finished re-reading all 19 volumes of Usagi Yojimbo and have taken about (counts) 33 pages of notes and the like. I start collating soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointyman2000 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Re: Your "2006" Pet Gaming Projects Well, I think I'm generally done with Persona HERO's mechanics. Probably just have to write up some setting details and one or two plot hooks and then do a general re-write. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Re: Your "2006" Pet Gaming Projects HAHA! Done. I sent the PDF off to Steve last night... it's a 400 page document compiled every Index from released books up through Asian Bestiary 1. I hope to add WoE and AB2 soon, as well as USP when it's released. Maybe monthly or bimonthly updates... We'll see. When Ben gets to adding it to the Free Stuff page I'll edit and add a link here.

The Dying Earth RPG http://www.dyingearth.com/ The Dying Earth is a collection of loosely connected short stories by Jack Vance. It is the first of the Dying Earth series.

Robyn Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Re: Your "2006" Pet Gaming Projects I need more information in order to locate resources. I've got the sourcebook and a few of the expansions; I've got everything I need rules-wise, really, except the HERO books. As for the gameplay concepts, I prefer this interview (short of quoting extensively from the book itself). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susano Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Re: Your "2006" Pet Gaming Projects As you can see, Usagi is still in progress. I am actually working on several characters at once, filling in known material from my notes and then going back and building special powers and the like. I am also, bit-by-bit building a background guide to his word. Here is an idea of the scope of the project: Tomoe Ame Stray Dog Shingen Sasuke Sanshobo Kitsune Usagi Miyamoto Jei Ishida Inazuma Gennosuke Generic Neko Ninja Generic Mogura Ninja Generic Komori Ninja Chizu Usagi Yojimbo Hero Zato-Ino Yagi This doesn't count other, possible, character sheets -- such as Hebi, Koji, Takeda, and Katsuichi.

Lethosos Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Re: Your "2006" Pet Gaming Projects Depends on wether it's Lord Hebi, or just the hebi serpent, but I suspect it's the former.
