The old version is still up but get the latest here. This version fixes: Some minor spelling errors, the Nature questions in Recruitment, and the Plated Armor description.

Realm Guard v1.2

This is very cool.

Could you write up a sample patrol and include them in the in PDF? Maybe a sample mission, too?

Can you please change the stroke weights on your denizen tables. If you can't format them to look like MG, can you just turn them down to .25 pt?

Is it Dunedain Nature or Ranger Nature? I think the former is cooler.

I'd like to play this!

I haven't looked at this until now. It's really cool--I want to play it on my next roleplaying fill-in night. The art looks fantastic.

It's Dúnadan Nature, yeah. Rangers are of the Dúnedain, but all of Númenorean ancestry have those Natures (I think). Open to changing that.

I was thinking about having two sample missions in there, with two sets of three sample characters "tailored" to those missions, a la MG.

I'll drop those borders down to .25. You're right: They're definitely too heavy, especially considering the repetitions.

Actually, Luke (or anyone who's InDesign savvy)... could you do me a favour? I want to eliminate as many of the unnecessary borders on tables as I can, but they're a real bitch (for me, anyway). Could you fire me a one-page .indd with one table from your own denizen listing (just one so I have a template). That'd help with how it looks and keep it truer to MG look. Failing that, I'll drop 'em down to .25.

I'm having that same table borders issue with my attempt at a Realm Guard character sheet. It's driving me batshit since none of the style preferences are saving.

[luke]

Well, I have CS 2. You have to style all your tables by hand in CS 2. No style sheets or preferences!

And if it's Dunadan Nature, make sure it's consistent throughout. I noticed the sample rangers have "Nature (Ranger)."

Yeah, mine's CS3. All over the web, when I went looking to try to fix tables, all I heard were complaints and NASA space launch prep-esque explanations for work-arounds.

I'll do a search and see what I can find re: the Nature inconsistency. Thanks!

edit: Found 'em. I remember why I put those now: space. I didn't want fat tables. I just removed the "()" and left it as Nature.
