Checking to see the group is live. That is all. CU Chad Underkoffler [chadu@...] ** Atomic Sock Monkey Press [ http://www.atomicsockmonkey.com ] ** **...
Folks: Thanks for coming! People are still joining the group, and the draft won't be uploaded for about two weeks from today, so there's not a lot of ...
I really think PDF first, then possibly PoD is the way to go. Screen-only + print version is good. Minimal art is good. I've never been big on art in RPGs, and...
... Is there a particular "purpose" to the zones of color // the logo's trapped in a box thing? -- Fred Hicks * "Curse you iago and your fast fingers!" - Rob...
... Nice couch you have here. ... Sounds good. Hold off on PoD decisions until that time comes. ... Also good for us laptop users. ... Sounds good. ... This...
... (I ask, because I wanted to mock up a notion or two. I have done so, and posted 'em to the files area.) -- Fred Hicks * "Curse you iago and your fast...
... Interesting. I need to ponder the two you put up more. I like the first one a little better, because it gives me a semi kitschy vibe (50s kitchen formica)...
... Re: the zones -- 1. They reflect the position/colors the 5 kingdoms of Zo on the map. 2. It's a striking image that looks interesting and eye-catching in...
Next chunk of time I get to twiddle, I will. :) ... -- Fred Hicks * "Curse you iago and your fast fingers!" - Rob Donoghue Co-Author of Fate - Author of Pace -...
... That gets down to the paragraph level, not just the whole entry level? Cool. I may have to look into that, or find someone who's already into that. Hm. I...
I think it's per-entry. But it's not that hard to seperate stuff out into different entries and link them together. Here's a good tool for choosing a wiki that...
... I also played around with Photoshop, trying to come up with an idea that didn't feel as flat. I think I pretty much stick to the original design (aside...
... I like the depth you added. I think if we keep the Mondrian cover per Ryan, then add in the center of Fred's first mock (with the green letters and head ...
... Yeah, hnh. I get what your idea is with the five-parts-of-the-kingdom (note: this gives it some parallels to the geography of Exalted's setting), but the ...
... Really? Intriguing. Not the inspirado at all. ... still ... I can dig what you're saying. I can also see where the lack of complexity to the cover can be a...
Hi all. I see I missed the start! Must tweak settings. Cover images: on a quick look I prefer Fred's. That's based purely on visual appeal rather than zecret...
While I'm waiting for the last player comments to come in to be incorporated into the draft, I thought I'd post the Bibliographies for ZOZ. I'm trying to...
Oh Zantabulous Ones: Just a quick update on the status of the Zorcerer of Zo draft. I've integrated one set of player notes (the "commentary track") and have...
I always liked the fairy tales about heroes on a quest who find improbable allies, each with his own special talent that plays a role in overcoming the ...
... Would "The Bremen Town Musicians" count as that? Crap! For some reason, this just reminded me of one of my childhood faves: "Prince Rabbit." CU Chad...
I'm rather fond of Red Riding Hood, for no discernable reason. Jack and the Beanstalk is a close second; I particularly like the theme of someone who gets...
Hm, not sure. I remember one in which the hero met a runner who took off his legs (!?) to rest at night. I think another one had seven brothers, each with his...
... each ... 1. As long as an uninformed reader can get a good grasp of what you're talking about you're probably OK. Splitting them into books, films and ...
I think that a wiki, while currently a buzzword, is pretty useless as a game accessory. Most of that kind of info should just be in the game. I also think the...
... Will it include all the rules? I tried reading HQ, and had to stop (which peeved me) -- it was the first ed, I think, and it required massive editing...
... Actually, what I was considering was having the wiki to allow folks to add further details on locations/characters from their particular campaigns. For...
... I suspect you were reading Hero *Wars*, which by all accounts was some great ideas wrapped up in a big mess. HeroQuest is the cleaned up version. Even that...
All of the player commentary has been added to the ZoZ draft! Huzzah! Now all I need to do is go over the manuscript with my writing circle today, and make any...
