Looks good to me.

I know you will continue to keep us updated, so my thanks in advance.
I would like to be placed on a wait list, if one is made...

Looks very good Ian, I'd be up for a copy if/when it comes to fruition!

Good luck

Would love to have managed to tie up a deal for Beholder.

Great news, Ian!

You should send some over as promtion items for the Acaeum booth and/or GC auction!

Taking a flyer and publishing without managing to contact the original author(s) is one thing. Touting them at GenCon is a completely different thing. I think I'll give that one a miss.

Here is a photo of Ian's Tortured Souls PDF CD. Photo is a bit grainy but the CD is sweet

Gosh! That brings back memories.
Thanks for posting it.

This was the original proof CD from last year, printed onto a completely black disk (like the old Playstation disks). I am currently looking at screen printing onto silver CDs, so the white in the lettering would be mirrored silver. I'll probably also lose the 'Beast Entz Presents...' tag line but you get the idea.

Why not keep their tagline, and just add your logo/tagline as well, Ian?

The 'Beast Entz Presents...' just looks a bit odd there, probably because it's reformatted. It's on the CD case in it's traditional format. I would have liked to have gone with a jet black disk, both sides, but couldn't find a source.

I guess that means this is an unauthorized project? Still no luck in tracking down Basil?

On the bottom of the case, it states "Requires an internet connection"...does it? If so, why? Thanks!

Kind of difficult to download Adobe Reader if you dont have an internet connection.

Either that or its for the spyware to open up a port on your firewall and transmit your IP address to Ian so he can store all of his illegal .pdf's on your hard drive. :wink:

Adobe do not provide a copy of Acrobat Reader for redistribution unless you are a recognised Adobe Partner. So, for those who do not have Acrobat Reader, they will require an internet connection to download and install the Reader. Yes, no luck tracking down Basil or Simon. That said, if either pop up I would love to put together a project with interviews and further background info. Would make a much more interesting project. Maybe the line should read "Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader available from http://get.adobe.com/ (internet connection needed)"

It could just be the wording...seemed odd here..."Requires an internet connection and Adobe Acrobat Reader..."...

if its the latter...I'd just install an ftp server to make it easier for him :lol:
