Layonara Campaign Handbook
« on: September 20, 2004, 03:43:00 pm »
[SIZE=18]It’s finally here!!!!!  After months and months of long and hard work Ed finished the Layonara Campaign Handbook just a few minutes ago.  If you go here, [/SIZE][SIZE=18]http://www.layonaraonline.com/downloads.asp[/SIZE][/url][SIZE=18] , and look under General Information you can download either the watermarked version or the black and white version.[/SIZE]
  [SIZE=18]Everybody that worked on this handbook deserves a HUGE round of applause.  And Ed has dedicated his life to it for about six months now, his attention to detail and dedication is superb.  Others have done a lot of work on it as well; you will find the list of credits in the handbook.[/SIZE]
  [SIZE=18]I especially want to thank Ed, Zizz, and Rhizome for their hard work on this project.  Great job to everybody![/SIZE]
  [SIZE=18]I highly recommend you guys/gals go get this handbook, it is great and will help each of you in some way and probably in MANY ways.[/SIZE]

Anybody else having a problem opening these?  I have download the PDF by right clicking and 'save as' a .pdf but Adobe reader says it had an error opening the document.  What version of Adobe was it made with?  I'm at work so it might be a version prob.  We are running 4.0 here.

You need at least version 5.  The latest version is 6.

    Glad y'all like it...it was an absolute _monster_ to edit. I had a lot of fun, though. :)  If you catch any nitpicky errors in the text I might have missed, drop me a line; I want this thing to be as near to perfect as possible.

    Major kudos to Ed...I know I fell behind schedule a lot, but he never made me feel bad about it. He did a fantastic job in the writing (if you have any doubts, read the description of the Spine Mountains; absolutely *gorgeous* work, I love the image of the dragon rising to the sky and shrugging off nonbelievers. And barring grammar/punctuation edit, that's all him in his SECOND LANGUAGE!), formatting, and support departments. He's incredibly committed and talented, and I'm proud to have worked with him.

    Enjoy, everyone! I hope y'all have as much fun reading it as I had working it over. :)

    Err, the "Spine Mountains" were written by Rhizome and English is his first language ;)
      Thanks to all who helped!  (and if anyone does find any inconsistencies, let us know, thx)

        I know this is a old post, but the handbook is great it was a great deal of help when I first came to Layonara, and I still use it when planing a character out, or checking for information for my lore keeping historian. Everyone did a great job that worked on it. Its better then many handbooks that are done for games you pay for. One of the best handbooks I have ever seen, its very impressive, if a bit overwhelming when you first open it.  It would be a nice item to think about selling in the store printed out. Oh to have a hard copy with out burning out my printer.
        SO I just wanted to say thanks for the great job.

        They did a great job on it that is for certain and the one that deserves the most credit, hands down, is EdTheKet.  Stay tuned though because a new version is coming somewhat soon.

          It's pretty easy to use CafePress to print and sell bound books.  Simply upload a PDF, and people can order a bound & printed copy mailed to them, on a per use basis.

          Just a thought.
