They use a modified version of Astounding Tales with the Encounter Marker system of .45 Adventure.

Lots of Hirst Arts stuff there, eh....? And I can only dream of one day actually having scanned and printed pictures enough of egyptian wallpaintings to do something like that...

You could try the following Word's Font :

Printed in color, it's could be interesting ?

You could also hit your Friendly Local Library's history section. If you have a scanner and a printer available, you could find some real treasures there...

Some interesting stuff there.....  :)

I already own several books on Egypt and Egyptology... and a lot of interesting pics are to find in those - it's just the time for scanning, re-sizing/editing, printing, and glueing to pieces of wall (not to mention making the pieces of wall  :D )....

I have decided to start up very 'naked' with only some floor plans, and maybe a statue or two, for my 'Hidden Temple'. I'll then add some more props/details to various locations from game to game as the campaign hopefully expands.... That way I can keep players hooked, just to see what treat I have for them next time  :wink:

But the fonts and pics provided will certainly be good stuff to work with... thanks!

Been there, but thanks, anyay  :)

Those pictures may be the trigger to actually get a few walls up even for my first game.... still, I'm almost a month behind scedule, so I have to cut down on the ambitions....  :(

I don't quite get those pics. If I insert them in a Word doc, they become different sizes if I insert them to a portrait doc as opposed to a landscape doc - and if I open them with PhotoShop, it tells me, they are larger than the paper....

I'll probably just have to resize them to fit the dimensions I need?

I find two way for print the image .
First crop by photoshop the larger  image and rotate it of 90° .
Then : 1) Print it on a A3 page ( if your printer support this format ,  my not  :( )
                                        or
         2) If you have use a  A4 paper reduce size image . Setting  height 28,8   it's        good

Thanks, I'll be trying some different approaches. Trial and error is always a good way to learn ;-)

- And, no, my printer does not take A3 - I do not know many people who have an A3 printer at home, if any, actually....
