I'm working on a spherical dungeon. It contains many monster factions that are bound to anchors so they cannot leave their areas. As the players destroy the anchors and beat the factions the strength of the other anchors all increase leading to the factions having access to each other's spaces. The deeper the faction's anchor is beneath the surface the more they benefit from the expansion of their range.
Out of curiosity, what do folks typically use to create the PDFs for something like this? I assume there's an alternative to paying Adobe a subscription fee.
Industry standard for typesetting is Adobe InDesign, which is always morally permissible to p*rate. A great free alternative is Scribus. And of course, Microsoft Word (paid), Google Docs (free), openoffice (free), LibreOffice (free) and OnlyOffice (free) are all usable for basic typesetting and can export to PDF.
Man I just might! No hope of winning but looks fun
I’d love to, but I have difficulty creating things from scratch. If anyone wants to collaborate and come up with something zany like BIRD CRIMES, I’m in!
Sadly, I keep meaning to... :P
It's also such an extremely useful resource. I used to run games for kids at a local shop, and one of the best ways to prepare was to look through the PDF of last year's entries. (Usually I'd have to further condense it to fit into one session, but still.)
