  1. In DTP, that's called a layout (or a spread)... and there is a line going down the middle where the two pages meet, one to left and one to right! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Pages still in portrait. LOL SDLeary
  2. A line of inquiry that should be played out in the BESTEST game for Mostali... Paranoia! ๐Ÿ˜† SDLeary
  3. No, more for easy navigation for those not using Word, or perhaps for those using Word, but not wanting to deal with all the Outlining nonsense. I can understand people using it because it makes it easy for them, or because its required by their work or a specific job they are on; but it makes it damn difficult to get from point a to point s without a lot of scrolling. Landscape... nah. Horizontal books are for pictures; the only word there to describe said pictures... otherwise my brain short circuits a bit! ๐Ÿ™‚ SDLeary
  4. Shouldn't be that hard with RTF if all you want to do is reformat to a different page size... but if you want to go further, the fact that there are NO Paragraph Styles, and apparently some missing section headers does make it something of a time sink. I've pulled it into Pages earlier, to try and make it more user friendly and have started to apply styles in order to create a rudimentary TOC. SDLeary P.S. โ€“ Apparently there are Styles there already! They just get borked if you import into something other than Word? P.P.S. โ€“ Not styles, but certainly encoded in such a way to create a Character Map in Word... otherwise everything shows up as Normal style P.P.P.S. โ€“ Its a single document Word Outline
  5. Correct, it is a SINGLE spirit. So if the body dies (from reduction to 0 POW or otherwise), the Shaman should still exist in the spirit world, and if they are the crafty sort should be able to find themselves a new... host(?), or if killed by someone, exact revenge, and then perhaps use their body as host. If the Fetch dies (reduces to 0 POW), then the Shamans ability to travel the spirit world should be stopped, but their mortal self should be fine. Perhaps they live in a reduced state, perhaps they can find a way to awaken another fetch. SDLeary
  6. Thatโ€™s a bit extreme. Especially if the reverse is true as well (at work, so no books handy), and the Shaman is truly dead at 0 physical body POW. It precludes the ability of the Shaman to wander the spirit world to find a new body. SDLeary
  7. When people began asking about the "Gamemaster's Book"! ๐Ÿ™ƒ SDLeary
  8. If you look at the right sidebar in the link for BRP that you posted, the License for the project is listed as MIT; correct license should be listed as ORC, yes? I assume that there is no ORC option available in the project settings, but can you manually edit it? Should be the same for the other two projects as well. SDLeary
  9. All in Markdown, correct? SDLeary P.S. โ€“ License currently listed as MIT
  10. @Jason D, will there be an addition to the cover, front or back, that calls out the fact that its a second printing? SDLeary
  11. Excellent! For authenticity, make sure the copyists use quills rather than fancy pens! ๐Ÿ™ƒ SDLeary
  12. In the early RQ3 days, I played a Flintnail Dwarf. It had already been put forward at that point that "good" dwarves don't learn spirit or rune magics. Because of this, and the uniqueness of Flintnail as presented in "Pavis", we decided that Flintnail Dwarves do not learn spirit magic, instead learning sorcery, but they do have access to the cult rune magic if it fits their mission parameters. Humans, of course, would follow normal cult structures. SDLeary
  13. This is correct. Rod is the person to talk to. ๐Ÿ™‚ SDLeary
  14. Interesting! Meade? Is there a Gloranthan analog, or place where it's brewed? Due to the bee association, a Troll beverage, perhaps specific to the Bee Tribe? And what about cider and perry if they exist? SDLeary
  15. Ahhhโ€ฆ the infamous green can! ๐Ÿ™ƒ The dwarves call food processed this way โ€œSoylentโ€, donโ€™t they?! SDLeary
  16. There was a BRP supplement "After the Vampire Wars" which basically had a modern fantasy setting down (think similar to Bright, or the Blade world), sans cyberpunk rules. I believe there are cyberpunk fan rules in the Files section of this site. Combining the two should yield you a good foundation to work with. If you can't find a copy of the old BRP supplement, then there is a version that is currently available HERE, though it will require slightly more leg work. SDLeary
  17. I like this... the CC program could be something like "Journal of the Southern Reaches". SDLeary
  18. I think it should be a bit more involved than this, but not to the degree of a full rewrite. Chaosium needs an outside (not familiar with BRP, perhaps a non-gamer) technical writer to go over things with a fined toothed comb. I imagine an editing run like this will turn up many more inconsistencies (artifacts, cut-and-paste issues, etc.) than even we are seeing. This would probably pull all the "rules" back together, and improve the understandable structure of the game. Of course, there will always be things that are (and should be) one-offs (eg. actions of a major NPC which doesn't quite fit the rules), that would have to stay with their respective stories. SDLeary
  19. I love this sheet! Was an ancient sheet for a game called ZAON any sort of inspiration? SDLeary
  20. If you go to Arc Dream's main site, and hover over the "Print" at the top of the page, you will see a dropdown that talks about the PDF Guarantee. In short, they use Bits and Mortar. You get the PDF (when you can send proof of purchase) with game products, but not with fiction; or such is my reading. SDLeary
  21. This. I'd add Advanced Sorcery, because is has copious amounts of Bronze Grimiore and other arcane goodness that could be used. SDLeary
  22. And would have the added fun of revealing your location! Fun for the PCs! ๐Ÿ™‚ SDLeary
