Hey folks,

Just a note that the Bug City eBook is now available on DriveThruRPG
<http://www.drivethrurpg.com/catalog/product_info.php?
products_id)53&affiliate_id88> and BattleCorps
<http://battlecorps.com/catalog/product_info.php?
cPath(_187_85&products_id28>

It includes the full book, obviously, and the two page full color
pull-out map.

cheers,
Adam

Do they have a new scan?

I got mine from BattleCorps a while ago and the scan was terrible.
Almost unreadable.

This is the first release of Bug City in PDF format; it was built from
the original layout files, not scanned -- except for the cover, which
needed to be scanned.

If you check the DriveThruRPG page for each book, it indicates whether
they are scanned or are created from the source files -- DTRPG calls
that "original electronic format."

Best,
Adam

On Mac OS X, using Preview, the book's pages are surrounded by a large
amount of white space which appears to be there to handle the size of
the map at the end. When printing a test page scaling of course does
not work, but cropping seems to print out nicely. Do you know whether
this will be the case for the whole book (except for the map)?

My apologies.

It wasn't my "Bug City" that was messed up.

It was my copy of "Universal Brotherhood" that was
messed up. UNreadable on Win98, very ugly on winXP.

Hmm, my initial copy was messed up as well, but when I fetched it
again later, it was fine.

I've recently bought Bug City in ebay, but IIRC there's no two page
full color map. There was such a map in the original product ? If so,
was is detached or detachable from the book ?

There should be a fold-out map in the back of the book, as the very last
page. It was not loose or detachable, but it could of course be that
someone tore it out anyway.
