I can't make it into a PDF, I don't have the software to do so with the proper resolution. Hence why all the QR's are not released to the public along with a few other issues, but that is the main one for the first 3 .

I sure wish you'd said something earlier! Liga can make it into a PDF (and I'm sure she'd be more than happy to), and I have a copy of Acrobat 5 somewhere I can install on my machine if for some reason Liga cannot do it.

It requires Adobe Professional 6.0 (or higher) or some other program (Professional is the one I am familiar with and that Bruce uses as well). I have used other PDF rippers, but it produced some pretty ugly PDF's. Also there is an issue with the PDF moving things around when you rip it so it's a pain. Don't worry about it, I'm sure it will be done in a reasonable length of time

I *will* worry about it. Hmmph! I'll send a PM to Liga and ask her what she's got.

One of these days, you stubborn sod, you'll learn to accept some help ...

Here can you find all you need to convert your file in the <troll>ugly</troll> MS office format to an awesome pdf : openoffice.org

And it's free, and I mean libre software

I did a PDF using OpenOffice.Org 1.11 .
Looks quite ok.

You may get it here:

That's okay, I converted the .xls file to PDF using Acrobat Pro 6, since the Adobe tools are what most people are best acquainted with. (I do have OpenOffice, but I don't use it since I also have M$ Office and OO's support for group editing/notation isn't as good as that found in M$ bloatware.)

EDIT: now all I need is for Zen to send me (or make available for d/l) his other raw documents so that I can post them as PDFs on my website for everyone's download pleasure.

Boron could try reading the manual, not too much to ask of such an "expert" on the game's balance and design.

Quick addendum, anyone have any idea whether any/all of the Ark's effects are resisted by MR?

My initial WTF still stands, by the way. There is something fundamentally wonky about Jesus sizzling when doused with holy water.

What's wonky is your grossly-flawed analogy. Holy water damages the unholy. It has no adverse effect upon those who are not supernaturally evil.
