Core Rules Stripped
2 years ago, I made a "mobile" version of the core book's second printing, which took out all the art, reduced the file size and made the books easier to read on small devices. It was apparently pretty popular, as it has been downloaded 2479 times (that's 3.4 times a day!). So, I decided to do the same thing for the 3rd printing. [url=https://www.mediafire.com/?32bqpojvekd4ibd]You can download it here.[/url] I've changed the name from the "Mobile" version to the "Stripped" version, since it has other uses besides mobile devices (like low-end computers). Basically, this is a copy of the core book with all the fancy elements ripped out of it. The cover is gone. Most of the art is gone (I removed the art layers, so the only art left are the ones that are for some reason on text layers). I flattened the layering and severely reduced the filesize (17 megs from 37). If there is any text missing, be warned that I did what I could with what tools I had. I do not have access to the files they used to create the PDF, I only had the PDF to work with. So unless you want to petition the crew to send me a copy of their InDesign files (which would be awesome, just throwing that out, no pressure), this is probably the best I can do without poring over the book and spending days of work on refining it. And I don't know if I can do this with the other books... my first attempt at Sunward showed me that some of the text is on art layers! I'll keep at it though and see if I can. Enjoy! EDIT: The file got deleted by Mediafire. I have re-uploaded it, and the link has been updated. Enjoy.

Thanks for this! The smaller file size of the stripped 2nd printing came in handy several times while I was deployed, so I'm glad to know there's a 3rd printing version available should I need it.

I had no idea you had done this! I use several low end tablets and notebooks to supplement play, so this is very useful. Thanks!

Awesome! If the least I can do for the military is make sure the troops have game books to distract themselves with, then that's what I'll do. Thanks for your service.

No problem. If there any issues you notice, like missing text and blocks, let me know and I'll try to fix it.

Hmm, it's working for me. Well, perhaps it has to do with the fact that its a viewing link: allows you to read the PDF without downloading it. [url=http://www.mediafire.com/?83y52yz2wfbooec]Here is the download link for it.[/url]
