Oh my, oh my...

...well, this time I've forgotten this place exists at all. Once in a while I a had an idea that seemed good enough to post it here, albeit the lack of audience. Now it's 1+ years since my last post, which was about Malay Magic, as you can see. I was pretty hyped back then (and am still, albeit not with that frequency). Still "supporting" Mun Kao. Still loving the zines. Other projects... well, let's say they hadn't such a good fate :-(

I guess I would never have looked again at these pages of my failed blogging carreer, if there wasn't Norbert Matausch of old-school-fame (look at his blog Darkwormcolt, good reading there!) and a pandemic going on (purely coincidental), forcing me to stay at home and staring at my pc, waiting for CTs, MRIs and X-Rays that need interpretation. Norbert asked what happened to my little Into the Odd-pocketmod I made years ago! Funny thing is, some guy asked me weeks back if I could share it with him... I guess I deleted the email, so no credits here, mysterious stranger.

Well, the pocketmod "Titan Bound" was not about good content, I fear. It was more of a test how I could design and publish a pocketmod in the most sexiest of ways. For my part, it included a bit too much fiddling around (which I was fond of, back then) and I am pretty sure, there are easier ways or even some kind of office-plugin or shit. But - I like the way I've done it. So, without further ado, the Titan Bound:

As a pocketmod and

As the underlying A7-Dok.

For the procedure these documents went through, see the original post.

Ok, folks, have fun with it and don't judge the content to hard. As I said: I wanted to make a pocketmod back then real bad and also could have published my favorite guacaomole-variants. So, I guess we'll see again in some years!

Bye so long, have fun - and, most important: Stay healthy.

Titan Bound - a Pocketmod for use with Into the Odd and other Odd-likes

This is a little pocketmod I made. It is some kind of extended encounter for Into the Odd or Odd-likes  (as in rogue-like) which I will call mods and derivates of ItO from now on.

It is not very original or overly creative - it is more of a feasibility-test for me. If all goes well I might do some more pocketmods in the future.

Originally I wanted to use LaTeX for pocketmod-design but I got a bit frustrated (again) and switched to LibreOffice and converted it to pocketmod-format via jPDF Tweak as I'm working on Manjaro right now (thanks +Sophia Brandt) and was trying to do everything on Linux native.

So if you want to help me out: Print out the document fold it up and read it! Focus on the following points:
  1. How does it look?
  2. How's the readability?
    And, not that important,
  3. do you like the content? 
Download the (updated!) pocketmod here!
Download the A7-size PDF here!

[EDIT]
Corrected a typo in Chris' name (ouch!) and uploaded the A7-PDF for better viewing on your screen/phone.

[EDIT2]
Ah, jPDF Tweak is a killer program with tons of options... one option I did use for the updated PDF (download link above): Resize to A4. The previous file was a pocketmod in A7 format (8 pages on an A7 page) - as +Nathan Ryder pointed out; it scaled up well, so re-formatting for printing worked. But now it's all fixed and doesn't need to be scaled up.
