    Tutorial Tutorials in PDF Format

    On behalf of the Cartographers' Guild community and its members, I have created this thread as a vehicle to use to readily make available any and all tutorials I've edited and repackaged as PDF documents.

    This first post will act as the index file of the PDF tutorial documents. As I edit and repackage tutorials, I will add them to this post and send a new post announcing the update.

    Eventually, I would like to start including other member's PDF tutorials given, of course, I have their permission to do so. Once said permission is acquired, I will post a copy of it in the "Other Members PDF Tutorials" post along with their PDF tutorial.

    The second post in this thread is reserved for the "Other Members PDF Tutorials".

    Without further ado, here is the index and links to the PDF tutorials:

    You can do up any of my tuts whenever ya want, bro. I think most of them are .doc files but there are a few that are inline, web-style...if you want to do those as well.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

    Vandy-

    Would it be possibly to provide a link to the original online tutorial in the pdf files? Often there are additional comments/discussion in the tutorial thread that may be of additional value.

    Info Made formatting changes to the first post

    Hello, All.

    Thank you all for your great comments as well as your permissions to "PDFize" your tutorials. I will be working on these documents on an on-going basis.

    NeonKnight and RobA, I've taken your suggestions and incorporated them into the first post. I believe it is now much more "user friendly".

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Regards,

    Gary
