Looking for some feedback!

Currently in the works to be added to Player Roles:
1. Rounds/minutes/hours timekeeping sheet for durations & consumable items (rations, torches, etc.)
2. Full-page versions of all the handouts for better printing
3. Some new blank calendar pages formatted to represent calendars beyond simply the Calendar of Harptos (Forgotten Realms)

Any other ideas or requests? Any edits to the existing sheets you'd really love to see?

Additionally, we're looking to greatly expand the Co-DMing section. If people have feedback and experiences regarding having a Co-DM, we'd love to hear it. Comment here or contact us through neuronphaser.com.

Was hoping for a better timekeeping sheet, but an all around good product!

Thank you for the feedback! Are you looking for timekeeping that goes round-by-round, or longer intervals? Or different calendar types?

I'm very much open to adding to and improving this product going forward: all of my releases are "living" documents!

Gary said, "strict timekeeping. I think I'm just being too literal. I'm also thinking as A DM. A more fine grain timekeeping worksheet would be great, what I would love to see is full page worksheets. Thanks for taking the time (hehe) to respond.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
