#saddlestitched
Nobody even once mentioned paper GSM, linen vs coreless, or saddlestitched vs. casebound... >>sniffles<< How's a nerd supposed to nerd out to just an awesome convo on motivations and goals in TTRPG production?
How an RPG Book is Made!

Scott Gray @scottfgray.bsky.social and I walk through how to make an RPG book! We use examples from Scott's career working on amazing books such as Draw Steel, Daggerheart, Forge of Foes, CORE20, D&D, and much more!

Also: I had my doubts as I typed “saddlestitched”, but was too lazy to go upstairs to the library and check my copy…

I've added the leftover copies of my #freerpgday title, From Here to There, to the Sabre website. It's a short OSR hexcrawl through a forested valley. I can't apparently sell physical books for free through the site, so I've set the price to the minimum of 1.00. #ttrpg #dnd #hexcrawl #zine

It's a great piece of work - my lovably pedantic ex-Crossrail civil engineer friend was only able to find one tiny niggle, so you pretty much nailed it for authenticity.

oh this rules a ton. love all the little doodles and exploded diagrams n such... good as hell!!

(💭 prepress brain kicking in but 16 pages is such a perfect sweet spot for actually gettin this physically printed & saddlestitched, too... this'd make such a fun print imo)

Made some collections and prints of my work to give out at #SDCC this year since I have been asked at the last 2 or 3 cons where people can see my work.

Look out editors, my portfolios are saddlestitched.

When I get back to California, please remind me to send you one of my vintage Reader's Digest cover journals or a saddlestitched bujo. Vintage covers (except the bujos, because they fall apart at the stitch), treeless paper, fountain pen friendly. I would like to hear your thoughts.

Use an exacto knife to rip along the inner spine of hardcovers, to make it easier to remove the covers. Innards can be placed in the recycling bin.
Coated paper can't be recycled, so tear the covers off paperbacks before placing them in tge recycling bin.
Saddlestitched can go directly in bin.

The hardcover ones are made from vintage book covers. The bullet journals are saddlestitched from vintage or recycled paper greeting cards.
