Swords & Wizardry Player Handbook

A couple of days ago I mentioned that I was working on a single column layout of Swords & Wizardry for printing booklets.

I printed up and assembled a player handbook today just to see what it would look like:








I used the free OS X app CocoaBooklet to do the imposition for me.  Printing was a bit tricky since I don't have a duplex printer at home but once I got that figured out the process was pretty easy.


Update:

I got the urge to tweak the prototype booklet a bit more and trimmed the top and bottom with a paper cutter. The edges didn't come out as clean as I had hoped so I'm going to try printing a faint trim line so that they can trimming can be done before folding.

Here are the pics:

    Nice! I printed the White Box rules out as a digest booklet, but the font is a bit too small and I've thought of using the .doc to redo it more or less like you've done here for Core.

    Great job.

    That's cool! First time I've seen a digest-printed version.

    Thanks! I just picked up a booklet stapler so the next one should be even better.
