I would think that 8pt would be minimum, but it could be 10pt for those with bad eyesight. 8pt is what most pocket novels are written in.

I want to convert at least one of the modules I wrote to one of these 2-siders, but I work better with a deadline. When do you want/need these submitted by?

Here's my sample 2 Sided Epic. I can post the ODT file if anyone wants to see that. Attachments:

Stu,
Would we want to set the deadline so winning entries could be run either by the submitter or by a judge / host at Gateway con?
I would be happy to run someone's submission at the con if they would like.
Cheers,
JiB

Would it be wrong to do a steampunk adventure called "Two Lasses, One Cog"?

I'm a horrible procrastinator, even when it comes to things I'm really interested in and excited about. A deadline for when submissions need to be (such as "the end of July") would be really helpful. Thanks for putting up an example Stu. That gives me a good idea of what the finished project should look like. Cheers. ;D

Sounds like a plan to me.

I've received about 25 responses via email stating an intent to submit a two-sided epic.
I think that hits the threshold that makes it worth doing.
So I say we light this candle.
The only thing I'm concerned about is collating multiple pdfs into one file. I know it's possible, but I've never done it before.
Anyone have Adobe Acrobat (or an equivalent) who'd be willing to help if my less than 1337 skills fail?

Anyone have Adobe Acrobat (or an equivalent) who'd be willing to help if my less than 1337 skills fail? I wish I had the skillz you need, sorry. On another, related note. Once you get all the adventures submitted, you might want to designate one person to "art direct" the project. You know, narrow the number of fonts and make the layouts consistent from one adventure to the next. Stuff like that. I know, "cart before the horse...", but it is something to think about. On the flip side, I came up with a cool little adventure at 6am this morning. I will piece it together and have it to you by the end of May.

I was going to email but then I figured responding here would be good enough. I'm interesting in competing, and also I have a little bit of pdf skills. So I could potentially help collate.

I will take this as a task item and have a solution when we're ready to put it together. JiB

I've got a copy of Acrobat that I've used to merge PDF's together before. Unless elaborate editing and typesetting are required, I can do it as well.
