What methods do people prefer to add OCR to a PDF? smallpdf.com does a pretty good job of lossless compression OCR shouldn't be affecting the compression of the image in the PDF by default. Unless you are setting the OCR to downsample a 300dpi page to 150dpi while performing the OCR. In which case you should set the OCR downsample to match the actual page dpi. But honestly if the PDF consists pages that are just images, you should extract them in Photoshop, and reduce the resolution to 150dpi with the bicubic sharper option (Does a better job of downsampling than Acrobat), save to PNG, and recreate the PDF, then OCR @ 150dpi. £0\/3 ¥Oµ! - - - A Hard To Find Game www an onfi les cc/file/3afdbf1484a673a0e5a0c9a2e32c0d3b Recent Shares Collection Archive of what gets shared in each of these threads.

  • Dice-Rolling Mechanisms in Rpgs
    Dice-Rolling Mechanisms in RPGs Torben Mogensen email: [email protected] March 28, 2006 Abstract Most RPGs (role-playing games) use some sort of randomizer when resolving ac- tions. Most often dice are used for this, but a few games use cards, rock-paper- scissors or other means of randomization. There are dozens of different ways dice have been used in RPGs, and we are likely to see many more in the future. This is not an evolution from bad methods to better methods – there is no such thing as a perfect dice-roll system suitable for all games (though there are methods that are suitable for none). But how will a designer be able to decide which of the existing dice-roll method is best suited for his game, or when to invent his own? There is no recipe for doing this – it is in many ways an art. But like any art, there is an element of craft involved. This paper will attempt to provide some tools and observations that, hopefully, will give the reader some tools for the craftman- ship involved in the art of choosing or designing dice-roll mechanisms for RPGs. 1 Introduction Ever since Dungeons & Dragons was published in 1974, randomization has, with a few exceptions, been a part of role-playing games. Randomization has been used for creating characters, determining if actions are successful, determining the amount of damage dealt by a weapon, determining encounters (“wandering monsters”, etc.) and so on. We will look mainly at randomizers in action resolution – the act of determining how successful an attempted action is.

  • TALISLANTA D20 Web Enhancement Vol. II
    TALISLANTA D20 Web Enhancement vol. II MARUKANS Once a robust and hearty folk, the Marukans now exhibit a wan and unhealthy appearance. Most have pale sallow complexions, sunken eyes, and limp brown hair. Morose and gloomy by nature, they dress in unfl attering garments made of sackcloth and walk about with their eyes downcast. The Marukan are descended from the ancient Numenians, a people whose lands were destroyed by The Great Disaster. The survivors sold salvage from the ruins, eventually earning enough to acquire a tract of land from the Hadjin, upon which they erected the city of Maruk. For a time the Marukans prospered, selling food crops to Carantheum, Danuvia, and Hadj. But a series of misfortunes beset them. Their crops failed, their animals died, and their people became dispirited. The Marukans continue to labor under this curse to the present time. Marukans once lived in artful structures of brick and masonry, with domed copper roofs. Now, most of their buildings are in disrepair, the copper plating stripped from the roofs and sold for salvage. Formerly Marukans are perhaps the most downtrodden and known for its stable family units, Marukan society ill-aspected of all the Talislantan races. Considered has fallen apart. Many families have been forced to harbingers of doom in many lands, Marukans are shunned split up as individuals leave the citystate to fi nd work as if they carried the plague. Fear of curses and bad luck elsewhere. Those who remain in the citystate now dominates what is left of Marukan culture. Consequently, work as dung merchants, menial laborers, subsistence the people have taken to wearing “Luck Talismans” of farmers, salvagers and talismancers.
