I was wondering what would be the best format of a rule book for print and play game.
I thought that having a booklet which is 5.5" x 8.5" could be interesting to do ( folded letter page) the problem is that to fix the booklet together, you need a long stampler to be able to stample in the middle. It's not everybody that has access to a stampler like this and I did not find any other way to fix the booklet together. The other problem is that you need double sided printing, and it is not all printers that can do it.
Else I could make a simple 8.5"x11" document, probably double column, that people could print single or double sided and just stample it in the corner. It's just less elegant.
I don't want to do 2 rule books, since it already takes a lot of time.
Does any of you have other ideas of booklet format that could be easy to print and assemble?
Do you mind having a rule book made of a simple stack of sheets stampled in the corner?
I tried folding to make it fit, it's not so bad. Also you can curve the paper, to remove the fold, by rubbing it on the side of a table.
Else, If I do 2 version I could supply the cheap, no illustration, word document that can be stample in the corner OR the beautiful, colored and illustrated rule book stamped in the middle. If I do this, It won't require to me extra time to layout the cheap version. Anyways, I'll think about it.
