Are the pages colored?. I suspect they are just plain black and white
text. The original was printed on colored paper. Very weird. I will
probably post it anyway. Part of my reason for focusing on this really
old stuff that I know most will never use for gaming is to give people
who weren't there how gonzo the early days actually were.
That list isn't any order so I can start on EPT next. It will be a
bear because of the map. Scanning will be difficult and the full size
maps have to be joined, color corrected and then blended at the edges
to be as seamless as possible. It will be tough and a long job, but in
the end teh wait will be worth it I promise. I should end up with a
300 dpi, full size version of this game.
