~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have some ideas on how to recreate the single player versions of these books 
(have ideas on the two player one two, except for how to send info from one 
comp to another (for the two player bit). I would like to request your pdfs of 
the 2 set, (i have both books, but dont want to waste time scanning if they are 
already done) and would like to make a start on my idea. It *can* be a 
collaborative thing in terms of data entry, but I was just gonna do it on my 
own anyway. If not, perhaps you would like to let me know what approach you 
guys are taking to making the books playable online, and maybe i can help,. I'm 
the creator of the graphical based lone wolf action chart.

Hi Skarn

Quite a bit of work has been done to the two books you mention, actually. There are complete PDF files of them available here:

http://www.projectaon.org/staff/simon/CH2_EmeraldEnchanter.pdf

http://www.projectaon.org/staff/simon/CH2_ScarletSorcerer.pdf

Since these are not officially released by Project Aon yet, please don't distribute these links or files.

As you can see, we plan to make the books available as PDF documents, but we are not averse to having them also distributed as an actual two-player software package. The scans I have of the books have all been edited to remove the numbers from the pages because I re-add those in the PDF as selectable text, so these would need to be added to any software separately from the illustrations--though that would likely have been necessary anyway.

If you think they would be of any use to you, I can try digging out the image files I have archived on a CD somewhere; I can either E-mail them to you or, if you prefer or the size of the archives calls for it, I can upload it to a website for you to download from.

I hope you are able to do something with it. It would be great fun to be able to actually play these games without needing to worry so much about the rules! ;-)

Thanks again for the offer of help. I look forward to hearing from you,
