Agreed. If the Fraternity of Shadows fail to deliver on time, they should get their own secluded domain, where they will have nothing else to do but editing Ravenloft netbooks for the hungry crowd!
Be careful what you wish for, because our darklord curse could be, to edit the netbooks only to have them erased by "accidents" (the Dark Powers) before completion... :azalin:
Don't worry it is finished, we are currently checking last details before uploading it. The Time Piece of Klorr is perplexed on which time zone to use, so we are off the hook for the time being.

And we're planning to borrow the Hammer of Reorx for when we go give the Timepiece its 'annual checkup'.

So you wanted update on this year's netbook, which's theme is about Secrets ???

OK!

Secret secret download link here! ---> link

It's version one! File size is a bit on the mammoth size, so be patient. We'll ask Easan the Mad on advices on how to shrink it for v2.

This year, Mephisto was in charge of creating this issue of the netbook for the first time, we really thank him for that. You'll see a high improvement on mine from the last years :) Bravo Meph! Superb job!

Indeed! Much applause for Mephisto for the compiling and formatting and all around beautifying. And also to Rock and Wolfglide for stepping up on the proofreading (I was unable to do much this year for assorted personal reasons). I knew those dice picked well when added our new members. :lucas:

Thanks, but... it doesn't work. It loads for eternity, then gives an error message. I heard other people have the same problem. Can you check and fix it?

The file is very large, and that may be causing your issues. We're working on getting a compressed version. In the meantime. Can you try to right-click and download the file, then open it locally?

Apparently I can, but my internet is very slow now so it might take a couple of hours before it finishes downloading. Hopefully it will open then.

Th large file is around 250Mb and it is in 300 dpi for printing it. I was away and hadn't checked how big it was, now that I was informed of the file's size I have made a web friendly one at 25,5 Mb that should be easy to download, one of the gremlins is currently on it. But if anyone wants to print all of it or parts of it I recommend the larger file.

Me too! I managed to open it at last! Some cenobites appeared, but I kicked them out until I finish reading it at last :azalin:

Oy! You got my name wrong in both of my articles! It's Jack the Reaper, not the Ripper!
