Wow, Nealos. I mean, like, WOW. Chris had given me a heads up on your
fantastic writing skills, and I can see he wasn't exaggerating. I read
through a few sections of the Player's Guide, and I'd like to say that I'd
be happy to lend whatever support I can for this. As it is SWAG policy to
not get involved as the "art department" for any fan created works, I know
we can't commit to this as a group. As you can see by our request forum,
there are nearly 60 unclaimed requests sitting out there right now.
My suggestion would be to compile a list of images that you'd like to see
done, and post it to the Community forum of the SWAG site, and not the
Requests. I'm sure you'll get a lot of response. I know I'd like to do
some, for sure!
I also wouldn't mind doing the layout of your final documents. With that
many pages it would be nice if the PDF were formatted for double sided
printing, eh? I can even do a nice D6ish cover for you, hehe. I redid
Moridin's Eraydia publications for him if you want to take a look, even
though he wanted me to keep them setup for single-sided printing. I use
Adobe InDesign, so it's not like I'd be laying it out in Word or Publisher
and using a printer driver pdf distiller to create them ;)
Great work, Nealos!
