Bill Roper Are there any concerns about sharing this over social media or to other groups of role players out there? If he gives the OK (which I imagine he will), might I suggest linking it to here instead of sharing it out; maybe HJ will get some new listeners and forumites?

Not a bad idea. The only thing is that on mobile, the interface for the forum sucks. I think what I would do would be to point to the AP of SWT and the link to the podcast main page. Something to think about for sure.

Something to think about for sure. Are you using the mobile version of proboards? Or are you seeing a small version of desktop mode

I always switch to "desktop mode" when using my phone for these forums.

I am using the regular mobile proboards, but cognizant that anyone we link to would see the mobile version straight away.

So, I just had a moment to flick through the PDF, and I am curious as to the choice of page size, and landscape orientation. We discussed it and I wanted this to be very usable for Tablet and Laptop devices as they're more and more common around the gaming table. The choice to go landscape was to best accommodate this style of viewing. If I were to do a full-blown game book (original or an adaptation) I'd be very tempted to spend the extra time and cash to to offer it both letter and landscape.

Damn Bill Roper this is fucking sexy. Thank you for sharing it! In future editions it would be cool to have a layered PDF so you can disable the background when printing. I noticed a type change to bring the career list into line to what the careers are. Under the Force the Wander should be changed to the Grey, when I upload the new one I will also make sure that the pdf is layered.

So, I just had a moment to flick through the PDF, and I am curious as to the choice of page size, and landscape orientation. So when I laid this out we discussed being able to use it for screens and tablets, since that is what I use at my table and having books digitally always either have partial pages showing or too small to easily read. I could probably make it portrait on 8.5x11 for printing it out, but it would take some time to redo it.

Took a stab at a character sheet. If anyone is interested I can put it out there for other to use. Link to Google Drive

Version 2. I increased the font size and changed it to a landscape 11x8.5 with a sufficent bleed area to print it on a regular printer and trim a quarter inch for a full bleed. I updated the skill list to reflect Traveller 2.0 skill list except for Animals and Flyer. I figure Animals can go under Survival and Flyer can go under Pilot (small craft).

So I'm making the Ewok PC's for my game and this catches my eye on the Gurilla events table.
Now I'm laughing at work.

Bill had much fun making the tables. I spent time perusing many of them. You'll love some of his events.
