Rulebooks, printing of
Posted: March 11th, 2012, 7:02 amHello everyone and thanks for all the help you've given me so far. I have a few questions about printing rule books.
First of all. I downloaded the entire collection of Heroquest rule books and tiles and whatnot, and I am planning to begin printing when I return home in July. I'm interested in printing them to look as close to their original form as possible that way I don't break down and cry every time I realize I can't possibly afford to buy the rare expansions. However, they are scanned (beautifully I might add) in a way that the facing pages now share a page. I know that I could take each book apart and put them back together either physically, or electronically so that they could be printed to look original, but I was wondering if there are any scans out there in which someone took the staples out of their books and then scanned the pages that way. Or, it could also work if there was some way to set up adobe(or another program) to do all the work of printing them correctly for me. Any thoughts?
On a barely related note, has anyone ever made an official looking quest book that combines the quests from the magazines, comic, and novels all into one handy volume? That would be quite neat I would think. If not I know what I will need to devote some time to in the future.
My final question. It will be far easier to match the paper of the original books than it would have been to match that of the cards and tiles, but, for reference, what did you folks use? Thanks a ton.
