The first two free ST#1 supplements we promised are now available:

Promotion - http://www.strange-aeons.ca/doc/SA_Promotion.pdf
Special Branch - http://www.strange-aeons.ca/doc/SA_SpecialBranch.pdf

Those who own a physical copy of ST#1 and Morbid Adventures may want to download the Promotion rules, as we've tweaked the Advanced Scenario Table ever so slightly to get a few of the new Basic scenarios into play.

Promotion PDF is weird. it displays fine but when you print it blows up and you can only print the upper left corner. Tried on two printers. The second page prints normal.

The upload may have glitched.  I just overwrote with a fresh copy, so give that a try and let me know if you still have problems.  Unfortunately I'm unable to test at my end, as I don't have a printer.

First page is still expanding on the print and only able to print one quarter.

Try as I might, I can't seem to replicate any sort of error.  Is anyone else having a similar problem?

Hi LidlessEye,

Yes, same problem with the first page - I was printing to 'primopdf'.

Would you like me to email you the generated pdf file?

Ok, new version posted.  I've replaced the first page with an extract from the original print PDF, as opposed to the rebuilt version I had up previously.  As this version never caused any problems in the past, it should hopefully clear up the issue.  My test print with Primo came out fine - thanks for pointing me to that Zobo, it'll be a handy diagnostic tool.

No problem!

Whatever you did it seems to work - plus, the printing/spool file is now ~7Mb, instead of 138Mb.

I would guess that it has to do with unflattened transparencies.

The first page still enlarges and prints just the upper left quarter.

 Just add them to my Black Goat file (where dwell all things Strange Aeon on my computer), so thanks muchly for them. Will still pick up Morbid Adventures, as have a thing about actually having a book in my hands (as Black Hat stock in the UK), though ST 1 & 2 will give me something to be going on with.

I purchased the ST1 pdf and it won't open at all. I did send an e-mail to your company's e-mail address and did not get a reply, I sent Uncle Mike a PM here and did not get a reply. Have you all been sacrificed? :o

Edit: Sorted, cheers.
