I've gone over several attempts to create a manual for the game using rich text-editors, but I can't do anything right. When I want to insert an image, the text formatting gets screwed-up, I can't resize or align the image the way I want, or there's some other issue I can't resolve. Inserting tables is even more tedious - it's all jumbled or misaligned. I also hate how the formatting seems to reset between every word, or how using multiple formatting settings between sentences and paragraphs just causes everything in the document to bug-out. Suffice it to say, I neither have the patience nor ability to produce this.

That's where you come in. I need a volunteer (with experience creating eBooks, or other documents with rich formatting and images) to help produce a game manual. I will supply all the details and images for you to use. It would be a matter of you inserting it into the document and arranging everything to look neat and presentable; then outputting a PDF file that we can distribute with the game. I can't offer you any real compensation for your time and effort, since the project is entirely a community effort anyway; you will, however, be credited in the game's own ending sequence.

Any takers?

I can't do any typing or designing information.  However, if all the text and images are supplied, I will gladly create the pdf.

Do you have experience with this kind of design? Any samples or works you can post here?

I left my sample back at my college computer, so I can have it for you tomorrow

I hear you, I spent like 20 hours on ROL3 readme cuz of the same reasons. 3 years later I discovered it only opened right in Word 2000

Incidentally, I'll still be ready with a sample for you tomorrow, but if it is enough to show you what I'm capable of doing, here's a link to a manual that I didn't do, but what I'm capable of doing given the resources:

Here's the sample with picture/table alignment. 

Yes, email will be great.  If you have another method such as IM, that will work too. Otherwise I'll send my email to you via private message.

That looks perfect.

Let me go ahead and get these descriptions down, and I'll PM you later asking for your e-mail.

Wow, that's really nice!  I really like how some of the effects (like Monk's Blood) develop over time.  I can't wait to see what you do next.
