Been playing around with LaTex and came up with this and was wondering if other people though it was close to the old books or not?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/c9u96h12zbafb94/Farstay%20Cluster%20Sourcebook.pdf?dl=0

The LaTex files need certain fonts which aren't public domain to work and the files are very rough and ready as well a work in progress, but enjoy the ouput.

Very cool. Looking forward to the final project.

Yeah, you're definitely on the right track. The fonts aren't a 100% match, but they are close enough to give the same feel. I can't wait to see how this project develops.

Aside from the cover page and the blue links, I'd totally have bought this as being a scan of a 30 year old book.

Thanks for the kind words it's Eras Bold for headings and Cheltenham Std book for the text which is a close as I can get.

The project is slow going as I keep changing what I want to write but it's moving forward right now.

I had a short splatbook that took me years to finally release. I know what you mean.
