We have all had experiences with spiral bound pages ripping out of notebooks, so wire bound for a rpg feels... Dangerous? I don't want pages accidently ripped out of rulebooks, for sure.

How durable is this binding? Would you use a thicker paper? Perhaps make ripping pages out a part of the game?

Try aiming to hit that on your 2nd draft and just gettting the story out on the 1st go. Focus on making bones, not a polished story. Once you have something, anything down, it is such much easier to go back and make it better.

Artists don't start with a finished piece, they start with a sketch.

And with that in mind, it just about balanced out... Or it did.

With tariffs on paper (Canada) and ink (Germany and China) and glue (China) I now have to seriously reconsider if I can keep printing in the US!

I may have to move my biz overseas now. Tariffs DONT make US jobs! They hurt us all!

I print hardback RPGs in the US and have for 11 years now. I don't own my own print shop, I use a commercial printing agent for Jostens.

It is more expensive, until you consider shipping from China. And I was fine paying the slight difference for never stressing about losing product on a boat...

Forgot to attach the picture!

Canastra is the title font. (With a lot of alt characters swapped in and some tweaking for kerning, etc.)
