Need Quick Help from an Artist/Layout Person

[calithena]

If possible. It's making a counter sheet for the current issue. Several of the counters are created - I can live with it if this is all there are - but I need them laid out on a page so someone could cut them out to use them in play if need be.

So I need (1) layout help for sure and (2) if possible, art help to make a few more counters.

Any takers?

You just need them arranged in an array? I can do that. And if you're looking for counters in a symbol style, I can handle that. I have InDesign, Inkscape, GIMP, and TeX as tools.

Might be able to draw some art over the weekend. What sort of stuff is needed, size and style?

[calithena]

Thanks so much, guys! The Umlautenator has sent you both email.

[sherrypie]

Sent eight pics flying your way, hope they help to speed things along

[calithena]

Got them! Thanks! Talysman?

I don't want to undercut Talysman, but I'd really like to get this issue out. If anyone is available to do a quick counter layout job in a couple hours - the art is done, we just need the counters laid out on a couple of pages - just get in contact with Ig at iggyumlaut at google mail etc. It's a quick job and will be a big help to getting another FO! into everyone's hands. Only volunteer if you can do it nowish though, since I'm sure Talysman will get back to us soon.

You've got some images, you need them arranged on a couple of pages for printing?

Can you work with a PDF as the final result?

If so, I can take your images, desired counter size, info about margins/pagesize and do this quick.

If that'll work, PM me to get my email.

If PDF won't work for you, not sure if I can do it with the software I have on hand, but we can discuss it and find out.

Thanks Droll! I think Talysman has it, but I will PM you in a flash if something comes up. I really appreciate it. This is for a Chainmail scenario in the new issue, so should be lots of fun for the old-old-old school types. :-)

How's it looking, Cal? Anything missing?

[talysman]

We're missing some art, which I'm waiting for to put in the new format. But Word is the art is being worked on.

[sherrypie]

Did you get the new hobbits, goblins, the troll and the rest of the crew I sent to Cal maybe a week ago? My email says it has been sent but since Cal hasn't responded I don't know for sure.

[talysman]

Nope, didn't get it. Maybe Cal is afk for a while?

[sherrypie]

Hrmph, guess I'll send them to you directly then. Coming soon to an email near you, stay tuned.

[talysman]

Got 'em! Thanks!

[calithena]

Stuff looks awesome, guys. The new issue is coming!
