Take it his edge hasn't refreshed? I mean those successes could really divide the time down.

Silly. Adam isn't human. And that lower Edge is killer. ;)

I'll put my money there too. I don't think Battlecorp can put stuff on Saturday or Sunday, or i might take Sunday. The PDF will be done by the weekend though.

Yes, but I'm sure you'll understand if we don't offer you the same odds as everyone else.

Had fun at the con?

Yeah; good stuff. Was very gratifying having hundreds of people asking for the book every day, and very unfortunate that the bindery wasn't able to output the number of books we needed.

Beyond that, though, everything was great; our new banners looked amazing, the new t-shirts rock, Holostreets was finally announced, WizKids had a lot more info about the upcoming Shadowrun novels. The buzz about SR4 was great -- both from regular fans and industry people. We ran a ton of demos, the "Mr. Johnson" game/contest that we ran was a blast, and our party on Friday night was well-attended. White Wolf pussied out on the dodgeball game, though. I guess they're still reeling from the Capture the Flag smackdown we laid on them at Origins.

Game of Thrones from GoO came out as well -- the deluxe for sale and some sample copies of the OGL version, and it's a totally sweet book. Even though it stole a week of my life that I would really like back, the quality and content is amazing.

I walked out with a stack of books -- more than I expected -- including Warhammer Fantasy from Black Industries/Green Ronin, True 20 from Green Ronin, Northern Crown from Atlas Games, Eberron from WotC, and Pulp Hero from Hero Games. Plus the new supplement for Burning Wheel, and Dogs in the Vineyard.

Made new friends, caught up with old ones, lined up work for the rest of the year, danced my ass off -- and saw the Gothsicles, who rocked the goddamn house. Good times.

Nah, a non-native english speaker is allowed to make such mistakes.

You'd be amazed how many native speakers make that mistake. I truly dispair sometimes.

I guess every nation (or better every language) has native speakers / writers of that kind
And their numbers usually seem to increase with each and every day ... which in turn leads to even more despair among those who value good orthography ...

Knock yourself out. I estimated only a 2 day unofficial vacation.

Sorry I missed you at the con. To clarify, Adam was not a person I was upset with or had an issue with their attitude. And as I may not have emphasized, even those I did have an issue with had changed by Sunday. Maybe they finally knew what was going to be reality and what had been just hopes and promises.

And actually it is "despair" rather than "dispair" - I think.

That underlines something about message boards. They are usually at a casual conversation level. Just because i know the correct way to use "their" and "there" and "they're" does not mean i don't accidentally type the incorrect one from time to time.

EDIT: Perhaps even slipping in a double negative from time to time.

Dis Pair, Dat Pair. What's the difference?

And actually I think it is "da d'frence" rather than 'the difference"

Does Adam have a pay pall account? Because, I'd consider putting a few dollars in the "sleep regulator" fund, after all the stuff he does

Aww, I don't want to buy him off, he allready has done a ton (Atlhough your idea isn't bad either)
I'd throw in some ¥ (And some real world money too!)

as I don't have any chances of meetings the devs in the near future - I am asking where I can transfer that beer to (metaphorically)
(btw: I would gladly buy some copies - if anybody would give me the possibility.)

And if it helps - think of the money as coffee-money so they can work longer. Good for FanPro, good for Paypal (or whatever medium) good for the player, good for the developers and Adam, so ... be happy

Unless the devs/Adam have a sudden urge to go to a town in the middle of nowhere likewise I would not be able to meet them, but yes if they had a paypall "tip jar" I would tip

Yeah, with a considerably good program (and both mentioned are at least expensive) you can add those links either automatically or while you are typing the rest of the book.
I haven't worked with any of those - but with LaTeX or the other programs I have used so far neither the TOC nor the index nor anylinks else had been anything to worry about...

??? Shouldn't take that long ... Of course, we're perhaps speaking of hours but, on the other hand, computers are not *that* expensive and you should be able to at least hold those images and parts of the book in memory or swap or hdd or whatever cache you are using ...
As for testing links: Use a reasonable program which could be testing it for you - and as far as I know link-testers are available for download.
As far as I know the hardest work is getting the layout from whatever format to A4 - but I'm just guessing.
