Greetings,
Another quick update as I surface for air. Sorry for my absence on the forums, folks. I will dive into this growing archive as soon as the book is off to press!
So the maps are now placed in the layout, and we continue to work 12 hour days on the gazetteer. Today I am inserting the 4 sheet tile maps into the appendices. These maps serve as both detail versions, but also meant to be scanned or printed (if one has the PDF version or downloads the files from the website) and assembled together to make huge maps. There will be three large cities that are four sheets each and include Overpass, Pure Hub City and Newburg.
Pure Hub is the capital of the Holy Purist Empire, while Newburg is the capital of the mutant supremacists called Aberrationists. Overpass,as many of you already know, is the capital of the Northern Freehold, of which Pitford is a member. The Freehold is a mixed race area where cyborgs, mutants, pure stocks, beastial humans and synthetics can all find relative acceptance and equal rights, and where most characters will start from. Other maps include a tile and pint ink version of the entire Crossroads region, and a full color version based on the hand crafted 3d map. We are also going to have a 9 sheet version of the color map for you to download and print out, not to mention links to various sizes for printing at office supply -copy centers, as well as a the most affordable print versions at Zazzle and maybe deviant art.
Okay, Coffee is starting to kick in . Back to to the layout. Today: Map variants in appendices, then making links in text for PDF version

Hey, that sounds wonderful! It may be asking a lot, but any chance we could get a bit in the downloads section? The art is great but we always want more. Also, I've already informed my financial planner (wife) that I'll be purchasing the book and PDF. You and your team deserve to be compensated for the work, but how about a bundle package deal?

Hi,
Still alive, still working on the Crossroads book, and sitting down this morning with a bigger coffee than nominal. Going to do another 100 pages of the PDF's linkable texts, which aren't too many compared to a rules book, but still I got to skim the whole book to do this. Then I need to skim the whole book again to finalize the index. Hard on the eyes this sort of work, but vital, especially for a gazetteer.
So, A bundle set with the the PDF and book? Well, we will have this at rpgnow and drivethru.com, but it takes awhile because we can't start the print books there until the PDF is loaded, and then we can't activate the hardcover or softcover book until the proof arrives here from the UK and we approve it. The mail from the UK including print time is a few weeks. But once approved we will establish a PDF and print book deal.
So, any of you regular posters here who buy the print book at a brick and mortar store, or Lulu.com or Amazon.com, just PM me after you buy it and I'll see what I can do about getting you a PDF copy.
And to all of you regulars here on the forums, thank you so much for answering rules question for newcomers while I am immersed in the Crossroads book prep. It is a huge help to me!
WM
