To anyone who is interested I am filling my server downtime by putting together a nice pagemaker publication of the Bardic Works of FRC. I can send it to whoever wants it when it's done. Probably a day or two from now. If any bards here don't want their work included...better say so! ***I hope Darkharp doesn't mind but I am putting a link to it on the front page here: www.fasterupload.com/index.php?p=download&hash=tNcKy2bQ2LQ3**looks like that link got bugged out, at least for me, here is the link to Brin set me up with www.theshaffers.org/frc/The_Bardic_Works_of_FRC.pdf- DM Justicar Volume II link here - housefreund.net/BW2.pdfIf that goes away, I'll come up with something else.

Wow...I haven't even finished putting all of my stuff into this document, and I was browsing some of the other things posted by the present and past bards of FRC...the sheer amount of community creativity that went into the songs and poetry posted by players is more then enough to remind me of what we are losing every day that FRC is down. It might just be a game, but...it sure is a good game.

Hell yeah. Very true. Sometimes I browse different server's forums to see how things are operating. Often times in their 237 page PDF custom manual there are many bardic works by players lining the pages. A composition would be nice to see. Maybe some of the works can be added to FRC2 as books and musical score sheets?

LOL kinda makes me think of a King looking down from his throne as court jesters and such each attempt to entertain him. Each time he tires of one they are beheaded and the next one is brought in. Hehehe the middle ages version of the gong show. ;D

Anyone out there that can convert a pagemaker publication to a PDF for me?

Transfer it into Word and I'll do what I can. Might take a bit, though.

transferring it to word would ruin alot of the formatting and graphics work I did already...*sigh* One would think that since adobe makes pagemaker and acrobat..you would be able to convert a pagemaker publication.

Ok..not quite done, I still have some few songs to add, and then I am going to comb the forums one more time for anything I missed. It is very complete so far!

Hmm...sunk, none of these post script printer drivers will install for me...looks like I'll be working at this for awhile...if anyone else thinks they might be able to convert a pagemaker 6.0 publication to a PDF please let me know.

Well..it's been 3 long days of combing the forums for bardic matierial..time for bed. If you manage to convert it send me a copy to bettermenu@yahoo.com. In any case we will be converting it again, since I need to add a few more of Myns songs from 'a song in arabel'.

Well, I'm working on it, so I'll get it to you just as soon as I'm able.
Once I figure out a surefire way to do it, we'll have a great system set up.

The final draft of the first edition of Bardic Works of FRC should be ready tonight, so..I am going to shoot for linking it to the forum here and making it downloadable in PDF format (thanks to longearmage). The file will be around 20 megs, and is packed with the creative talent of FRC.
On that note I would like to open suggestions for content on my next project: The FRC Sourcebook. I think this is a good idea, but I am a little lacking in ideas for content. I think maps with the FRC added cities for sure...and for any of you who would like to make a PnP character sheet and send it to me for inclusion..that would work..what else should go in this thing?
