1/3 of the trilogy is here

Just got the hard copy of WHAT in the mail. Can’t wait for the other 2 books to get here. Another old dude that likes to hold a real book 😜
Cheers,

Well done. Welcome to the dead tree club! I buy the digital file but I just can’t play the game until I hold it in my hand.

Wow, you guys must really be old.....  Either that, or I must really be impatient - I've been known to play games with only a few pages of preliminary drafts or hints mentioned in a forum post.

Still haven't gotten my physical copy & will be playing my second encounter this weekend. Bioma is going carousing to sell the magic items they found & find another job.

I can’t really explain it. I thought I would love reading on my iPad. I’ve managed to force myself to get into reading comics digitally but I can’t read text books. Bizarre. I’m 48.

I hark back to the days when the guy that "wrote" the rules handed you a page of tables ans said "I'll explain the rest as we go along."

And I had to buy a book the other day - because it doesn't exist in ebook - only to realize that I had to turn the lights on to read it at night. Whoa!

BTW, I always make a QRS so I do have all the essential tables in my hand. Easier to refer to. By reducing them 50% I can put 4 pages on each side of an 8.5x11 sheet. Usually all of Ed's essential tables plus other useful stuff. Speeds up play.

4 pages on an 8.5 x 11? I couldn’t tell if it was print or just spots on the paper

Lynn,
Email me at [e-mail] Odd they shipped only the one book.
Need your order number.

Maybe print the QRS?

On the contrary, because of THW's clear and consistent formatting, everything is quite easy to read, and the QRS is only a reminder of what every player has already read multiple times. The body text is typically 6 point type when reduced. I have no trouble reading it and my 77-year-old eyes are not even correctible to 20/20. You might want to at least see an example before dismissing it as useless.

I would be happy to post a pdf of a single side, but the page files are all greater than 1MB.

I didn’t mean to insinuate it was useless. I just have trouble reading small print

But spots on the paper would be useful?

[Duke61]

I have to watch the spots closely to determine if it’s on the paper or floaters in my eyes are acting up again 😳

Or you could be a mensch and admit that your previous post was out of line. Naah! Never happen.

[Duke61]

Seeing that my post was true, I don’t understand how it’s out of line

You never actually saw the QRS I made, and therefore have no idea what it actually looks like, so please explain how your critique of its readability could possibly be true.
