Hey guys, something I have noticed is that everyone has different ways of creating Perk and Equipment Sprads. For example, take Curse's Spread Work compared to mine below;
Mine is there first one, while Curse's is the second one. See the difference? We both have different ways of creating Spreads. (Funny thing, I tried posting Curse's after mine and well.. It ate it.. Ok, it deleted it but still. It was funny)
Also Perk Order, some people place their Perks like this:
One Handed
Armsman
Bladesman
Fighting Stance
Critical Charge
While others do this:
One Handed
Armsman
Fighting Stance
Critical Charge
Bladesmen
Another example of techniques and knowledge is this; (Mine is the first one, while Curse's is the second one)
See my point?
Also, how do you create them and what text etc do you use? I think I should create a discussion here, but I'll ask this question and if someone/the host wants to make a discussion of it go ahead. It'll be interesting. Food for thought.
What I want to know, is how do you create Spreads, what text do you use etc etc. This discussion will be a great place for providing feedback on each others Spreads, while getting some much needed tips. Hell, if you're going to create your first Spread, this is the place to ask!

What programs does everyone use for perk and equipment spreads? I have just been using word for my perk spreads and haven't been able to make equipment spreads work in it. I'm sure there is a better program out there for this and would like to know what everyone else is using.
I personally use Paint.net which is a realtively easy to use, free, image-editing software. Little bit of a learning curve but it's very versatile.
I know others use Powerpoint or Photoshop and even GIMP. It mostly comes down to personal preference though to be honest. Perkspreads don't have to be crazy - they just need to get the point across.
I've actually become pretty comfortable creating perk spreads in Word even though it's not that user friendly. It's just equipment spreads that I have had trouble with because of putting one image over another. I'll Paint.net a go because I'd like to start incoporating more equipment spreads into my builds.
