I seem to have started a small mission pack (1/6 missions complete, probably eta 15 pages.)

I think it might end up being zero art, minimal layout, since I'm not sure where to source good art for military hardware schematics, but I'd be happy to send a copy when it's done on...like, Wednesday?

This is a ballpark estimate, but FIST missions are proving really easy and quick to write.

oh sick !! excited to see the missions, sounds awesome. for the no-art look, you could do something similar to the "classified document" pages in the original book - the copier-styled font for that is "univers else" aka "fluxisch else". 

i'm happy to hear fist missions are easy to write - the mission module i'm working on has been "probably ready for release by next week" for like three months now. if i could stop procrastinating, i could probably knock it out in a night or two. oh well !!

I completely understand. I get randomly creatively jammed on stuff, and blasting the right music sometimes helps, but sometimes the best solution ends up being just working on a different project for a while. There's no pressure, and I'm stoked for the Dyatlov Pass stuff whenever it comes out.

For my scenario pack, I've been using Michroma and Space Mono, since those seem to be the fonts the FIST fonts are based on and they're under the open font license. It looks close, but if that's too much deviation, I'll dig into figuring out univers else, space grotesk, and microgramma.

Graphic design and layout are really my achilles heel, though. The first time I ever used either skill was in winter 2019, so I'm learning as I go, and the results tend to be chaotic.

Either way, I'll send a copy once stuff is ready, before anything goes live, and I can remove or adjust anything that deviates from the intended design.

oh hey, i was just mentioning the font i used in case you liked it and wanted to use it yourself. feel free to deviate from the design as much as you like !! i am not a stickler about "brand identity" or anything goofy like that, by all means get some design + layout practice in, let it be chaotic if it ends up chaotic, and make something that appeals to your own tastes. if you do want to take anything specific from FIST's design like the schematics or the title/logo though, let me know so i can send them your way! happy to share n all that

If there's a resource with more public domain schematics, I would absolutely be happy to search it for some art.

I don't know how much I can repurpose the logo, and I have very little understanding how logos work, but if the heading and subheading are fields I can fill out, that would be awesome.

Either way, thank you for the support!

sadly it's been converted to vector, so no fields to fill out :( but i'm sure you'll come up with somethin that looks great !! as for schematics, gun manufacturers sometimes distribute free ones, but other than that, i had a pretty hard time finding them - that's why there's only like three or four in the book.

No worries! I'll do some scouting. Nothing came up on unsplash, but there's gotta be stuff out there. If I can't locate any in a timely fashion, it'll be a fairly plain-looking document, but it'll still be useable.

(4/6 scenarios complete, eta probably by end of day)

holy shit you work fast !! excited to read em !!

It helps that the example scenario is formatted the way it is.  All I really need is a concept, and then I fill in the tactics/espionage/action. It makes for lightning-fast scenario writing.

I'm on the last one now, and I found some schematics on freesvg dot org, so a minimal art, minimal layout copy is possible by end of day.

Writing complete. Is there a good way for me to send you a copy in advance, or should I just post it?
