I'm getting close to wrapping up the platytest version of the Third Kingdom and want to get it printed through Lulu. I vaguely remember reading something on...
... This depends a lot on both the paper size and whether you use one-column or two-column text. Generally, the longer a text line is, the larger the font...
... Very long ago, I read in the manual to an Amiga DTP program, called Professional Page, that one should choose a combination of font size and column width...
So, Peter and Torben, what it sounds like you are saying is that I can use my printer to determine what Lulu's printed word would look like. In other words,...
... In terms of size, I haven't seen any difference between my laser printer and Lulu's print. However, the print seems slightly "thinner" at Lulu, so if you...
... In the "GenCon 08 Small Press Game Design & Publishing Crash Course" there was some talk about this (either on the Layout or Editing courses). You can...
... Actually there might be. When I convert an MS Word document to PDF format, it seems to me as if the document shrinks somewhat, for some very strange...
... If you upload your document as a PDF, I don't think so (at least, I haven't experienced any such). What happens when Word is converted to PDF is anyones...
... Yes, I use a 3rd-party programme called PDFCreator, as a "driver". ... That still doesn't explain why everything looks slightly "zoomed", with the margins...
... It could just be a bug in the converter. I was thinkig it might be caused by point-size differences (a PostScript point is 1/72", where a traditional...
... I'm using a different driver, called PrimoPDF at home, but it works on the same principle: it creates a virtual printer and prints the .doc to a PDF file...
... It is true that a point is not a point but in this case I don't think it matters as most systems use Adobe Points through out now (of course I suggest you...
I'm wondering how much information or content should be included when describing things such as attributes, skills or what have you. Some systems seem to go...
Hi, all, I just wanted to say I'm really glad I found this group. I see that it's been round for a long time, but I never knew of it before. I've been looking...
For Table Top RPGs, I'm a big fan of keeping it short and sweet. The more you write about aspects of a game, usually the more complicated it becomes, not less....
... 180 degrees wrong! The more that the designer "chooses" to "leave up to the GM", the more complicated it to play the game. -- Peter Knutsen sagatafl.org...
... Agreed. I also think it's far more irritating (and potentially time-consuming) to try to decipher what was actually meant by a poorly worded too-brief bit,...
I have to agree that more detail is better. However, it is impossible to account for every little variable and situation so the rules should be both broad and...
On and off for a couple of decades (mostly off) I've been playing around with a few game design ideas, not so much because they're likely to be any better than...
... If you say what kind of feedback you're looking for, I'm sure even a short outline could be usefully commented on. -Teramis Deborah Teramis Christian ...
... I would say it is better to post something short and incomplete than something big and complete, since not all have time to read and comment long texts....
I think some form of script, but it has to be fluid, and back brief or just write notes and such to keep the timeline and events and who was met, but record...
In my experience, I often find myself disagreeing with the game designer's detailed interpretations, but then you have a problem as a GM saying "in my game...
... I've never had a problem with this. If I'm using a certain book and others have access to it too, the very first thing I say and make crystal clear is that...
