Basic Fantasy RPG Forums

I had a set of BFRPG books printed at Lulu. I was in the habit of only downloading the PDFs, but now that some of them have been updated I'd like to get the Open Document files corresponding to the version I had printed. However, the Downloads page only has the R107 ODT.

I'd like to compare my hardcopies with the latest revisions and maybe pencil in the updates. It turns out comparing PDFs is non-trivial. Adobe wants to charge US$14.99/mo. for the privilege.

I found that Libber-Office can compare documents pretty well, but I need both revisions to compare.

At this point I'm only missing Basic-Fantasy-RPG-Rules-r105.odt . If anyone has that revision kicking around on their hard drive, I'd appreciate you sending me a copy.

If only we could keep these files in a git repo....

I'm fairly sure Solo has mentioned that he has copies of each revision. I'd be willing to manage a git repo if Solo is okay with it.

He would likely host it on his repo, if he wanted to. Multiple versions aren't hosted on here (presumably) because it would look confusing to newcomers to our game/site.

Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned a git repo, that is not my main request.

Does someone have R105 of the Core Rules in ODT format? Should I PM Solomoriah directly?

Yes.



It takes several minutes to upload the documents, so I probably won't get it done tonight.

... okay, I lied. It's uploading now. When the upload is complete, the link will be:

http://basicfantasy.org/download.cgi/Ba ... s-r105.odt

Give it five or ten minutes at least before trying it.

The next time I update the site, it will disappear, so get it while it's hot.

OK, thanks so much, I got it now. Sorry for the bother.

S'awright.

The blurb on the news page indicated where the changes were. Not all news posts are complete, but I believe that one was.
