This product was priced to be an auto-purchase for your customers who're interested in game design. What starts with your recommendation will end, we hope, with a lifelong customer who’s grateful that your advice helped them get started in game design, and who's happy to buy dice, meeples, card sleeves, and games from you for years.
The White Box is a learning, planning, and prototyping tool for tabletop game designers.
It contains a book of 18 essays on game design and production, covering subjects like where to find a great concept, how to use randomness, what to ask playtesters, and whether it’s wise to self-publish.
It includes an abundance of components to get you started right away, from cubes and meeples to dice, discs, and chits.
Maybe you have a golden idea inside you burning to come out. Maybe you want to tell a story or explore a problem. Do you dream of seeing your name on a box at your local game store? Or perhaps you see game design as a path to fame, fortune, and a satisfying career.
The White Box is for aspiring professionals, creative young people, and literally anyone who’s ever wanted to build their own game without having to plunder their game library for bits.
SQL allows for searching/grouping of any records that contain value x in field a, value y or z in field b, and so on, and at the very least value x or/and value y in LINE a; RegEx search provides the latter functionality at least also for text files. But if I put my textfiles into an outliner or a wiki, I even lose this functionality of combining values x and/or y in the same line, meaning the same record, since the records in an outliner or wiki are not the text lines in an item, but the items, and "search for value x and/or y within item a" would NOT display just the corresponding textlines then, but any outliner/wiki item in which ANY of the textlines/records would comprise these values, which is obviously not the needed result.-ital2 (April 19, 2017, 03:15 PM)

Dynamic Lock lets you automatically lock a Windows 10 PC when you’re away from it.

I think the idea is that it detects the presence of a Bluetooth device (such as a smart watch) and locks when you're away and automatically unlocks when you come back.-Deozaan (April 13, 2017, 09:28 PM)
imgur used to have a button to copy the bbcode for pasting in foums. I tried wrapping the image address in image tags. No good. Anyone know the secret and why they did away with the convenient button?
The above smudge is what happens when using the image file url inside image tags.-MilesAhead (April 12, 2017, 09:02 AM)
Reader can be fast, but it can also be slow. Depends on the PDF. I find that PDF XChange opens at the same speed no matter the PDF, which is why I always switch my default to it.-wraith808 (April 11, 2017, 06:54 AM)
I was commenting more on launching the app. If I am opening a PDF file without the app running yet, then Acrobat Pro launches more quickly than PDF-XChange. Once they are both running, this difference disappears when opening additional files.-dr_andus (April 11, 2017, 09:31 AM)
The only advantage I could find of Acrobat is that it seems to open files faster (or at least the app launches faster when you open the first file). But otherwise XChange is so much more user-friendly and customisable.-dr_andus (April 09, 2017, 04:38 PM)
You mean there is an Adobe product that opens fast? InDesign and Photoshop CS6 sure don't.-techidave (April 11, 2017, 06:08 AM)
I find Acrobat Reader the best balance for opening / viewing PDF files:
note I'm usually looking at files with lots of vector graphics and/or images in them.
It is fast, and navigation & zooming is much more keyboard friendly than anything else I've tried, including PDF-Exchange (the last time I tried it at any rate).
Seems to work fine for manuals etc with lots of text too.

@curt, sharing the make & model of your monitor and videoadapter might help us find any (if any) known quirks with this combo-Ath (April 09, 2017, 02:29 AM)

I've used PDF XChange Editor for many years, but recently I got to also install Acrobat Pro, so I made it my default app, to try it out. I found I much prefer PDF XChange Editor.Did you buy a pro version of PDF XChange Editor? I have a free version, and as far as I can tell, it can't do things like combine several pdf pages into one pdf file. Can yours do that? A friend keeps suggesting that I simply break down and buy Adobe Acrobat Pro. He claims it will do everything. I'm not a big Adobe fan, so I'd prefer to use alternatives, as long as I can do what I want. But for combining files, I wound up sending all the separate pdfs to him and he combined them with Adobe.-dr_andus (April 09, 2017, 04:38 PM)-cyberdiva (April 10, 2017, 08:56 AM)
