PhilHibbs Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I noticed that the back covers were maps, so I've been expecting this. Very nice, very impressive how accurate the alignment is. On the subject of printing accuracy and alignment, has anyone checked to see how well the new folio character sheet folds up if it's printed on an A3 printer? How easy is it to get the opposite sides to align, and to fold them so that the edges meet nicely in the middle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Wulfraed Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Too late for the set, but semi-transparent "Chaosium" logo would have been nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21st Century Moose Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 That map just reminds me so much of the classic ICE Middle-earth maps. It's probably even more beautiful. Would I be correct to speculate on them being an inspiration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
