AlphaDog posted:I left out squamous, rugose and non-euclidean on purpose since a) they don't actually come up very often in the writing and b) I have no idea what the first two even mean. e: I wasn't even being serious, just listing off stuff lovecraft kept on writing down. As I recall, squamous means to have legs and hip joints arranged kind of like on a crocodile, so they stick 'out and then down'. I used to know what rugose meant but have since forgotten. :sinister chord:

A while ago this forum introduced me to this image: I'm sure there was a sequel image of sorts, somewhere, which showed the gnome and the lady riding off or something else indicating they were together, but I have no idea how to find it. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Did I make it up?

Plague of Hats posted:Scribus is pretty impressive for a free product, but they lag in a lot of important ways, and the last two rounds of InDesign CC have been packed with quality-of-life upgrades compared to CS6 or whatever the gently caress life was like before ~the cloud~, and I'd still take CS6 over Scribus. Although, the last time I seriously looked at Scribus was probably almost a year ago, and was already habituated to InDesign well before then. InDesign is vastly superior to Scribus and also vastly more expensive. 'Free' can be a drat compelling argument. I learned how to use InDesign (and Scribus) based on trial and error -- you can get a pretty sweet-looking pdf out of an indd file that would make a pro (or a seasoned amateur such as myself) gibber with horror, although as someone mentioned upthread there is such a thing as best practice and you won't be learning it. On the other hand, if no-one's going to see the source files but you... who cares? True story: the first thing I ever had to do in InDesign was edit a flyer my company was putting out, and I couldn't for the life of me work out how to turn off underlined text (which is what the previous designer had done). So I copied the backdrop entity, which was a solid colour, and squished it so that it covered the underline I wanted to remove. Looked just fine when it was printed. I waffled some about my experiences and know-how here in the Game Writing Workshop thread if people want to know some basics.
