It only took me 18+ years to finish this (October 2021, to be exact), but I got there eventually!
Here is the complete Pirates of Dark Water AD&D RPG module from Mindgames, written by Lee Agosta.
World Book PDF, 63 pages, 2.2MB | Character sheets PDF, 103 pages, 4.5MB | Map of Mer 2374×1640, 1.1MB |
Production notes:
- I used Affinity Publisher (Adobe InDesign alternative) for document layout. Retyping the content kept the document size WAY down compared to just scanning.
- The content is unchanged from the original. The only changes I made were cleaning up some typos, updating the font from Arial to Avenir Next (this changed some line and page breaks), and polishing some of the typography. (What better way to put my design master’s degree to use than on vintage Pirates of Dark Water memorabilia??)
- I did consider updating the original World Book decision to use he/him/his pronouns as “the neuter” (see PDF page 2), but I’ve left it as-is for now. Maybe I’ll create a second version with they/them/theirs pronouns.
