Hey all!

Is there anybody who can tell me which package (and probably can provide me with this....) I have to use to include the MECCG-symbols (regions, sites, GI, DI etc...) in a LaTex document ?

Yours, Markus

Hi Markus! I had absolutely no idea whatsoever what a LaTex document was before I read your post. I did a google-search and found out LaTex is a program that's used to produce texts, usually scientific texts. So my curiosity was awakened: what kind of text on MECCG are you planning on producing using LaTex?

Two fan-made player's guides (just like the official ones by ICE) for Against the Shadow and White Hand have been published on the site www.guildcompanion.com. BUT they were divided into 3 three parts each and never in downloadable form (printing a web-site never looks good).

So I'm trying to get all the information into PDF-documents (a format latex can produce, besides postscript and *.dvi) to be put on the CoE-Site. They're nothing fancy for an experienced tournament player (they'll know everything already) but especially for new players it can give you an overwiew what a particular card is good for...(it worked good for me, when i started the game...). The text-versions are almost complete, now i'm working on including the card-images into the documents.

What I'm needing the region/site-symbols for are the keyablity informations for creatures and site paths for sites...i could include them as little images which didn't work well, so i was curious if someone else has already done the work...

The other one is the CrF-File which i'm bringing into PDF-form together with a Table of Contents and references.

Thanks for your interest!

Yours, Markus
