Hey Eric or Tom any chance you could stick a version of the Realms bestiary pdfs up on Erics site with out "the math"? (the stuff in the red text)

Im thinking of printing the PDFs out and Im trying to reduce the page counts

It would certainly take a lot of effort, but you can cut and paste the parts you want to Word, and print it that way...

Or just print it at work, like I did. I don't care about page count when I'm not buying the ink or the paper.

Hehe... That's exactly what I did.

I even used the book-binding machine we've got for compiling printed documents together and, along with hardcovers for both the back and front, created a "sourcebook" of sorts.

Yeah I thought of that but it would make a right pigs breakfast of the formating if I cut and pasted into a word document

Unfortunately I dont have a work printer I can abuse

Unfortunately, given schedules, I doubt Eric or I will have the opportunity to get to that. Sorry. Mayhap someone else has on these boards has already done the work....

I'm willing to give it a shot... but it won't be something I can tackle for a good few weeks yet.

If you're willing to wait a month of so, Dargoth... I'll see what I can do.

See Eric Boyds homepage, there you will find two volumes of Realms-monsters (many of them updates from 2ed.) that has not been published elsewhere. These were made by Tom Costa and Eric Boyd and make for very interesting reading

Actually, if Eric's interested... he can make the printer-friendly version I'm generating for Dargoth available on his website, since it would be inappropriate of me to store it anywhere else online.

Sure, assuming Tom looks it over and is fine with it. Send it to me in email.

Hey Sage when you made your book did you merge both Bestiaries into a single tome?

I was thinking about that actually.

There's also a few things I want to discuss with Tom about including the fluff details... but I'll do that privately.

Thanks lokilokust. Glad you liked them.

As for questions about reformatting and stuff, Sage please email me directly at THOMASC148@aol.com and be sure to put Bestiary in the subject line. I don't always get to the boards in a timely fashion....

Will do, Tom.

Now that I think about it, I've contacted you via that email address before... as I recall.
