    I use the monster tracking tool for A/C/E until now but it's quite stupid because i track wounds with pencils and paper.

     

    Why not just use spare dice?  While playing WFRP3, I have tons of dice with numbers on them that I don't use, especially d6s.  Just pick one color for one monster, using a handful of d6s to count its wounds.  I use dice to track things all the time.

     Even in the "real world", Medieval maps were often not in agreement on many things, especially details.  It's very believable for one person to have a map that shows a town on one side of a river, and another person to have a map that shows the same town on the other side of the river, or a third person that shows the town but doesn't even show the river, or a fourth person with a map that shows the river but not the town!

    2. Do you make maps for the buildings that your PCs enter along with markers of the npcs that they can talk to? if not how woudl a pc know who is in that building ?

     

    How do they know who is inside a building?  They approach someone and ask them.

    Of course, the person could have reason to lie. :)

    I've never understood the fetish for encounter balance in any system.  If the PCs are stupid enough to take on a dragon while just starting out their adventuring career, that's their fault!  They could fight, negotiate, run, charm, plead, deftly escape, summon aid, anything.  The choice is up to them.

     

    Likewise, if they are experienced and encounter a few goblins, and the goblins lose a few and make to run, but the PCs pursue them to slaughter every last man, woman, and child in bloodthirsty hyper-rage, maybe there should be consequences to that.  Maybe party tension increases.  Maybe local priests who witnessed the carnage refuse to heal the PCs.

     

    There should always be repercussions of any decisions made, whatever the action is that might prompt the decision.

     A crude 'fix' is to print the document out to a 'pdf-printer' with the 'print as image' option. This loses all the bookmarks, but you have a readable copy which a fair machine can render swiftly.

     

     

    That can't be it, does it?

    It's like buying a brand new car - and it runs only 10 mph but if you put squared tires (bought from another vendor) on it, it runs at least 50 - but bumping.

    I bought the pdf -even though i bought two boxes - because I was used good stuff by FFG, but if they  botched it.

     

    It's more like taking that complicated Photoshop file you made with lots of layers and masks and flattening it to one layer so it displays quickly.

    Oh well I may take all 3 players books in to the binders and get them done properly as one big book and hope the GMs book can stand up to the abuse. 

     

    That's an excellent idea.  I wonder if FFG could offer all four books in one binder, a la Harnmaster.

     I still can't open the file for the adventure. . . I even followed the direct link and it said "Safari can't open the page". . . do I need to use another browser?

    Thanks.

     

     

    I'm using Safari too.  It's because the person who posted the link included "Here's the direct link:" as part of the URL, so it came out like this: http://Here's%20the%20direct%20link ... obviously not a valid domain name. :)

    When I took that out, I got somewhere: http://gallery.rptools.net/d/53070-6/WFRP3+-+False+Pretenses+-+Scenario.pdf
