NPC Images for Book 1 (The Hellfire Compact)

[Velkyn]

I bought the PDF through Paizo's store and was hoping I could export the images . However, the PDF is protected with a password and I cannot do this.

Are the NPC images (e.g., Cimri, Boggart, Archbaron Darellus, etc.) available for download and printing? I could snip them out of the PDF with Windows Snipping Tool, but I then have to blur the surrounding text. I was hoping for a clean copy to share with my players.

if you use the arrow tool, and click the image, does it highlight? if it does you can copy and paste that into an art package, save, job done.

being someone who has the hard copy book, I just searched google for the characters and when that drew a blank for some, the adventure path, the book name, character type, etc. they are all online available. one tumblr blog is running both Vengeance and Rebels at the same time and has a lot of the artwork in the blog.

it's a fun AP, we've just started Book 4. I have all the maps i've created/found, tokens for the NPCs and the like, I'll let you have them if you want? there is also a really good playthrough on Youtube which really helped me get into the flow of things, well worth a watch.

have fun.

I started snipping them out of my PDF with Procreate on my iPad Pro and I'm done with Book 1 now. But if you have the other books, I'd happily take them -- it'd save me at least an hour, if not two, per book.

Thankfully, pulling the maps is pretty easy from the interactive map PDF, and the import easily into Roll20.

As for the play through on Youtube, I'll have to find that. I've got some ideas on how I want Book 1 to go, but I haven't read anything past that and it'd be good to understand how the rest of story arc plays out.

In case you're still running the game and may be able to use this for later books - or, worst-case, for anyone else finding this - I've found a bit of a roundabout way to do this.

If you get the program Inkscape, you can open PDFs with it, and then if you select the page, ungroup (default shortcut Ctrl+Shift+G), deselect and then click on the art, you can drag it out to the side, then export it (default shortcut Ctrl+E) as a PNG with a transparent background.

I use this both for NPC are and for making tokens, since I play via VTT, but this is a good way to get clean art in general.
