[Diaspora] Diaspora SRD in PDF

Hello, all

My name is Massimiliano Lambertini and I'm an old time italian gamer that
happens to

* love Sci-fi roleplaying
* love FATE rpg
* love to tinker from time to time with DTP system and semi-automatic pdf
generation.

Well, to cut a long story short, I've tested a program of mine capable of
performing a semi-automated conversion from HTML to ConTeXt (a TeX-based PDF
publishing system).

The result is here: http://www.roleplaying.it/diaspora/diaspora.pdf. Enjoy

Caveats: when it comes to tables and floating items (sidebars and the
like) ConTeXt places wherever it deems fit. This means that you could get a
wide table placed on the top of the next page. Moreover, the layout is quite
basic -- there is almost no pizzaz and little graphics flair, for instance.

Moreover, I hope that publishing a PDF of the SRD does not violate any of
VSCA's rights. If this is the case (or, if you think that the PDF sucks so
badly that you feel it should be removed) I will delete it from my webspace.

Otherwise, just enjoy it.

Greetings,
Massimiliano "Max" Lambertini
