Basic Fantasy RPG Forums

Probably would have to eliminate most of the art.

Would the lite version of the core rules work better for that of printing? Just tossing out ideas.

Removing most artwork and re-sizing the remaining will definitely reduce the file-size. I also intend to add bookmarks.

I will work on a few variations using Parts 1 & 2.

My interest in a digest format is less to do with any viability - and I get the work involved - and more just an interest in having a compatibly sized version to go with my other digest OSR stuff.

Because I'm like that.

Okay, for the record... what book size is "digest" for the purposes of this discussion? 5" x 8" and 6" x 9" are both standard smaller sizes supported by Lulu and CreateSpace; 5x8 seems a bit small to me, but I'm open to discussion.

I think 6 x 9.

Next question... are we doing a full reproduction of the rulebook, or just the player-facing part (up to the end of The Encounter)?

Ha! The version I started working on (for my personal fun only), and my thinking, would be only the player-facing part.

Brian, if you're with us, you don't have to worry about the "for my own fun" bit. You, too, can get your name in the credits of an official Basic Fantasy Project production.

6x9 for sure. My goal would be to do the whole thing.
