Whither Reddit? In the meantime, here’s a place to chat up old school revival (OSR) and new school revolution (NSR) style TTRPGs.
My name is Todd aka Hexed Press and I am the current caretaker (have I always been the caretaker?). Here are some other places to find me, if you are so inclined:
I typically just by the PDF, print it, and then make a custom cover for it. It may look very polished, but the jankiness makes it all the more special to me. Anyone else do this?
this is why i love the d&d community. i thought this was a new book and i wanted to read it
Well now I’m all chuffed
Did you do the skull door sketch too? Looks awesome anyway.
No, that’s from the Barrowmaze player handouts book. Lots of great art in there!
I've bound a few PDFs, but I typically leave the cover looking very simple.
For zines, I print them on nicer paper and sew them together instead of stapling. For things I intend to be more durable, I make stiffened paper bindings with actual front and back cover boards (usually covered in construction paper).
I love doing this with PDFs, it's much nicer and more personal than putting them on an iPad or something.
I have not but you’re tempting me!
