I still need someone who can print to hand print and scan the following names (at least 300 DPI, preferably more):

Maricela D'Angelo
Fleta D'Angelo

Ideally, I'd like two different people to do these names, but each submitter should feel free to do both; then I can pick whichever one best fits each NPC. The names should be written as you'd print your own name, i.e. it shouldn't look like the first time you've done it. You might need to do it a few times to get a natural look.

I know I'm making a rather detailed request here, but for those of you who have neat handwriting but are not otherwise artistic, this is a way to get an art credit in one of our modules... better, as an old friend used to say, than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

I've had a go at printing Maricela and Fleta D'Angelo. They should be well over 300 dpi after they are cropped.

I hope this is what you are looking for.

frolbo2101, that's pretty much exactly what I wanted! Since I would like different handwriting, I'm using your Maricela; my wife has done Fleta's name.

One question: How do you want to be credited? PM me if you don't want to post it here.

R35 is uploaded, and it's basically complete. I would still accept artwork to fill in some of the blank space, but that's not critical. Chi, feel free to dig in.

We may get this in print this month yet... :D

Every time I re-edit something I've read through before:
"Ok this shouldn't come up with too many errors or corrections, I know I got 99% of them before."

17 pages later (so far): "How the hell did I miss all these?!"

:D

IKR?

I've noticed that the best way to find my mistakes is to start to sell the piece. I can do a thousand editing passes, but as soon as I've taken someone's money for a print product, I'll find a whole new bunch of glaring, basic errors and I won't be able to understand how I missed them.

I just blame Chi...

:D

Kidding. I know exactly how you feel, Stuart. But it's not the errors that we find right after release that bug me, it's the ones in mature products that have been in print for a decade... we shouldn't still be finding errors, or at least, that's what I always think.

I published OSRIC eleven years ago and I'm still literally incapable of reading more than three pages without seeing something I should fix.
