Very basic in the outcome, but if I'd had a penny for every time I couldn't think of the most logical solution...<br /><br />I have to admit I dislike PDFs a lot myself. I have an awesome black and white printer that was great for all the assignments I had to do. With rules PDFs, I rarely find them black and white. I was so much into Strange Aeons I paid for colour prints and it still hurts me when I think about it :P.<br />The second reason to get a printed book compared to PDF is the cost of some PDFs, as they come out quite expensive. I understand it costs time and effort to write great rules, but PDF that costs 2/3 of the printed book, should at least have some software functions...you know, like clickable index and such. But then again, I'm a bit of a technophob, so it would be no use to me :DMathyoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11254075235438097742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-42580382374180558532014-03-02T16:31:24.937+00:002014-03-02T16:31:24.937+00:00Thanks Hugh that is Awesome :DThanks Hugh that is Awesome :DSimon Quinton https://www.blogger.com/profile/18001946192905517180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-35376197487348615582014-03-02T16:23:14.202+00:002014-03-02T16:23:14.202+00:00Thanks Very much.

The PowerPoint file for those ATZ cards is available here: http://www.mediafire.com/view/9cku5925nb58kun/atz-new-event-cards.pptx . You may use this in any way you see fit as a basis for your own cards, if it helps.<br /><br />I'd be happy to help you further, if needed.

There are also various coloured combs available too for ease of looking for the one you want. <br />I have used comb binders in the past, but for the most part I've used ring binders with the rule pages in plastic wallets.<br />I'm sure most people would be able to find someone with access to a modern comb binder rathe than having to buy one themselves.Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-89623986003929940992014-03-02T12:41:17.647+00:002014-03-02T12:41:17.647+00:00What a fantastic article, Hugh.

Up until now I have kept many of my PDFs in files with clear plastic pockets, which work well for books with a relatively small page count but not so well for books containing 100+ pages.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.com
