CT Only: Alternate formats for Citizens of the Imperium tables

Hi All,

I wanted to write and see what the chances were somebody might be willing to help put the Supplement 4 tables for character creation into a more screen reader friendly format. I realize this is a big-ish project, and needs permission from the powers that be. Frankly, I would love the whole CT canon in a more friendly form, but realize that's probably impractical.
Nevertheless, I would really appreciate any help with this. I hate to impose without being able to contribute a lot myself.
Thanks much for your consideration :)
 
Give us some more detail about what is needed, please.

I'm certain I can get suitable approvals.
 
Some Details

Thanks for the quick response. :)

Basically what would help a lot would b if someone could reformat the tables. They don't need to be marked up for the screen reader or anything like that, the problem right now is that I can't begin to understand what is being conveyed. The format below, found in the retyped CT 77 book, works very well:

DM of +1 if Educ 8+ Social 8+ Educ 7+ — Intel 9+ —

Reenlist 6+ 6+ 7+ 3+ 4+ 5+
Characters cycle through this table during each term of service. Note that the
reenlistment die throw is required even if the character does not intend to reenlist.
DMs are cumulative (in the case of Enlistment) if the characters have the neces-sary prerequisites. All rolls except draft are two-die throws.


My screen reader currently sees the following from the OCR of Supplement 4:

I don't know if there's a way to view the OCR text without the scanned image on top, but if so it might help provide more examples of what I'm talking about. I'm not sure how much more detail I can give, but am happy to answer questions as best I can.
 
OK, that's easy enough. I'm doing it right now. I'll suggest Marc include a tables retype on the CT CD in later pressings.

Let me know if that works for you.

Thank you! :)

This looks excellent, and is much appreciated!

If I may suggest it, I'd love to see the tables also be available via DriveThruRPG, if only because my current laptop lacks a CD drive :) For now, if I run into issues with other supplements I'll post here, I suppose.
