Campaign almost written, but formatting?

By GMRicc, in Game Masters

Hey all:

I am currently writing a full size campaign (which will be available for download when done, for those that wish it. I have run into a snaffu however.

I have been writing is with as much of the "official" formatting as i can muster (which isn't much, to be fair) but I have decided to fix what I feel like is a visual problem.

NPCs! I want them to look better than they do. The formatting of them anyway. Does anyone know how I can make my NPC entries look something like FFG's do in the core book? or know how I can format them to make them look a bit better then a simple text box? I know it is probably more important to me then most, but I do like my stuff to look good.

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I use OggDude's Character Generator GM Tools to create the stats:

Then I grab a .PNG from somewhere for the art. Here's some examples:

Looking forward to reading your campaign. Happy gaming!

Thank you for the idea. I have been looking over the GM Tools at the NPC thing. While I cannot use the character generator for my players (one is a force exile with the d20 radio Jedi Sentinel career specialization) I might use the NPC tool for generating stat blocks for the NPCs.

That tool does make them look good, thought I was hoping to lightly mimic the style the NPC and ships show up in the core rule book.

You can use the data editor to create your own careers and specializations, even talents. Pretty much everything is customizable.
