Intergalactic Space Trader is a print and play game by Toby Lancaster. This can be purchased on DriveThruRPG. It appears to be a solo space adventure where you can are a space merchant making money moving goods between space systems. I haven’t played it yet. The books are designed to be A6 (105mm by 148mm, or 4.1 inch by 5.8in). I adjusted this a bit in Affinity Publisher to be 4.25 inches by 6 inches tall. This made it easier…
My daughter asked me to build a photo album for her to use as a guest book for her wedding. I decided to base it off of the designs from DAS Bookbinding. This build is a test to make sure that it would come out as desired. This design uses Chicago screws to hold the binding together. The cover is covered in Burgundy colored Lineco Book Cloth. The paper is used with Canson XL Watercolor paper. This paper is stiff…
I attended a Zoom course hosted by Erin Fletcher at Herringbone Bindery. It was a Saturday and Sunday morning class and we completed 2 versions of the flatback case binding. It was a bunch of fun. I bought a second set of supplies, and completed these as well. The decorative cover art was purchased off of Etsy and printed on my Epson 15000 printer. Take a look at these Etsy stores One book had a lighter set of end papers,…
Armed with all of the various elements that I printed out, I set out to explore a dungeon. Getting the characters all created took some time. This will go faster with the next set, though I am going to reuse these players for a bit. The player cards worked pretty well. Some areas like health are a bit small for the constant erasing, but it was functional. The Encounter journal worked very well. Having the D66 room layouts at the…
I am very pleased with how my adventure journal for Four Against Darkness turned out. It is printed on short grain Mohawk Superfine Eggshell paper. The cover is 80lb card stock. I used artwork by Emiel Boven to show a party of adventurers. The body of the journal is based on the excellent layout work posted on the Four Against Darkness page by Mike Keller (madmak72) on boardgamegeek.com. I have added a pocket in the front of the booklet to…
Four Against Darkness is a solo dungeon crawl where the player controls a party of four characters. The core rules allow for characters of classes Warrior, Cleric, Rogue, Wizard, Barbarian, Elf, Dwarf, and Halfling. This game came out in 2016, so I am a little late to the party. There have been many modules and adventures released to build on the core rules, so there is plenty of material to make the game worth investigating now. I printed and bound…
2D6 Dungeon is a solo dungeon crawl table top role playing game. I purchased it off of itch.io (https://d-r-games.itch.io/2d6dungeon). There are two books; the Core Rules, and the Tables Codex. I am currently focused on learning more about book binding. TTRPGs are a great choice for book binding as there are so many titles available and they are available in PDF formats. On this print out, I wanted to create a final product that was as close to the published…
I printed and bound a second version of the Glide Manuals. Glide is published by Sleepy Sasquatch and the manuals can be purchased from https://sleepysasquatch.itch.io/glide. These manuals are printed as 4 sheet sections. They are stitched with 18/3 linen thread. They have glued on card stock covers. They now fit better into the leather binder. The leather binder is based on the designs from Make Supply. https://makesupply-leather.com/templates/make-a-diy-leather-notebook-cover-free-pdf-patterns/ It had to be made a bit larger to allow for the booklets…
