I have tried to download Denizen! from both here and Drivethrurpg.com and I keep getting corrupted copies of the file. Can you try to upload the file again?

I'm very sorry about that. I used MergePDF to merge the cover and the body into one file. My best guess is that's where the issue is introduced. I created a share folder on Dropbox with the current docx and a PDF generated directly from Word. Besides the format, the only differences besides the missing cover are the index of illustrations is moved to the beginning and contrast was improved one or two images.
If neither of these work, I can try some other formats, or possibly breaking up the file if you believe it's a size issue.

No problem. If technology can go wrong it will always find a way to do so. The file from Dropbox opens perfectly. Thanks. I look forward to reading it over the weekend.
Oh, I don't think it's the file size that's the problem because I've got much larger PDF files that include cover illustrations and they open fine. I think you're right about the merging being the source of the problem.
