Hi,
I was browsing through my drivethrurpg stuff, and I noticed AS&SH had been updated! What are the changes, if any?
Thanks,
Antonio

The update includes the addition of the full size map. Some folks did not prefer the chopped up PDF map, so I added the full one. Thanks very much for that!  I had already pieced together my own "one page map" using screenshots of the separate pages, but I like the one you made much better. ;D |

It turns out to be a technical difficulty that I will eventually address. You see, in addition to the typos you reported, Antonio, there have been about maybe 25 more typos that have all been repaired. These repairs were rendered in the original InDesign file for the print version of the game. What I failed to do was keep an accurate log of each and every minor adjustment and typo repair. When I say "adjustment," I'm talking about small layout changes: orphan text, some spacing issues, etc. You see, I was still fiddling with the original InDesign files even after going to print, because I print the manuals pretty much on-demand. So, this brings us to the PDF version. Back in early 2012 when the print version InDesign layout files were complete, I duplicated the files to make them a lower resolution PDF file. Then I got to work on the hyperlinked index and the many, many bookmarks (for ease of use). Long story short: In order for me to incorporate all the adjustments and fixes I've made to the print files, I would have to duplicate my original InDesign files all over again and re-do all the bookmarks and the hyperlinked index, which is time consuming.

Jeff,
I saw that the download was updated a few weeks ago. Anything major?
(I actually just printed and bound "work copies" of the books)
(Which look awesome by the way)

Jeff, I saw that the download was updated a few weeks ago. Anything major? (I actually just printed and bound "work copies" of the books) (Which look awesome by the way) Nothing changed. I was informed by Drivethru / RPGNow that they were adjusting file formats to optimize for faster downloads. Glad to hear those "work copies" are looking good! |
