I cannot keep the DPf copies of the Main rule open without becoming unresponsive, to the point it is unusable. Is there a way that this can be fixed? I have tried downloading it again, and that has not fixed the problem
Today we're releasing all the various versions of the Mythic Europe map! All the corrections are completed (thanks again for your comments!), and we're moving on to prototyping the cloth maps using the final files. Visit your account in Backerkit.com, and you'll find a zip file with these maps in your Downloads area:
"Interior" long version
"Poster" short version
"Endsheets" with borders and keys removed
"Hicontrast" with textures removed
The maps are all included in both a web version (screen resolution), and a 8.5x11 inch printable version. We usually release maps as 72dpi and 150dpi (since that's the best a home printer can do), but for this release I upped those to 96dpi and 192dpi, since there's so much small text on the map.
PROGRESS ON EVERYTHING ELSE
We're about half way through our "polishing" pass on the Ars Magica Definitive core rulebook. We had hoped get the Storyguide Set to press ahead of that, but along the way we realized that the Storyguide Screen and Reference Guide that it includes would be much more useful with actually accurate page number references included. So that means waiting for the core rulebook layout to be absolutely, positively, completely done.
My co-producer Ben Hartfield is working exclusively on that Ars Magica Definitive layout, full time. I'm also helping with the nitty-gritty of production where I can (like spending today prepping all the Mythic Europe maps). We're continually moving forward, while be extremely detail-oriented. Thank you for your patience while we make Ars Magica Definitive the best it can be!
