Yeah BA, but it was to copy text more to files, it is so easy to quickly copy text, but true, it should work well for pictures.

Cheers...

Yeah, did a test (got Photoshop 10, it a good program, was I got use to it), got one map, had to do in four parts and join, but it did work, with not much noticeable pixel distortion!

Re: Eldritch Tales: Lovecraftian White Box Role-Playing

Converted from CoC

Scry Scripture
Spell
Level: 1
Learn Spell: +0
Casting Time: 15 minutes
Spell Check: Intelligence -1
Range: Self
Duration: The time it take to read one book/scroll, etc.
Failure: He becomes blind for 1d6 hours, if he is previously blind, there is no effect. A temporary blinded character (caused by failing to cast this spell) who attempts to cast his spell again and fails will have their eyeballs tore from their head and destroyed; disintegrating into a grey dust.

Allows the caster to read writing in the dark, or to read when blind. The caster must know how to interpret the symbols to begin with; this spell does not teach languages. The writing appears plainly before the caster, the words seemingly graven in space; but is actually in his mind. An ordinary hand motion turns the page or rolls out the scroll. The spell requires the caster to be touching the desired book or other unit of writing. To read a new book requires a new Scry Scripture to be cast.

Tradesman Page: 66, has a specialties/skill called 'Repair,' but there is no such skill.

Do we replace it or ignore it?

Hi guys,
Sorry for my slow response here, been away with the wife!

I will look into copy/paste for the next version and thanks for noting the irregularities I'll make sure they get corrected!

For the Tradesman, Repair is a holdover from an earlier MS. At the moment I think we'll allow them to choose 2 Trades.

I like this quite a bit! Nice work!

Hope you enjoyed your holiday...

Cheers Joseph, that would be great!

Okay two trades it is …

And thank for your opinion on spell, if you want to use it, feel free!

Was wondering, are you planning more spells (Book of Spells, etc?), as I did for lack of better word, love the Call/Contact spells, etc. with plenty of Summoning spells and Binding spells, of course, you might think this is extreme; with to many world destroyer spells and plan to keep it simple with only a few less powerful summoning spells?

Re: Eldritch Tales: Lovecraftian White Box Role-Playing

Caveman - I'm not planning a book of spells, per se, but new sorcery and eldritch tomes will certainly appear in upcoming products - zines, adventures, etc.
