Narmer Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I'm new to CoC and I've downloaded the quick start and wanted to print out a copy for easier reading. However, the background looks like it will really drink the ink. Is there a print friendly version somewhere that I'm just not seeing?

klecser Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 You might be able to turn off backgrounds in the PDF without losing text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trystero Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Which quickstart version did you download? The Seventh Edition Quick-Start Rules PDF (blue-and-white cover, with people in an ice-covered cavern inspecting an Elder Thing) doesn't have much of a page background, except in a few sidebars and handouts. (But it doesn't have layers, so there's no way to turn off those sidebar/handout backgrounds.) You can also purchase a print edition of the booklet for $9.95 from Chaosium or Lulu if you prefer.

It is the 7th edition. The copy I downloaded yesterday has a grayish background and almost black borders And it isn't layered..

trystero Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Okay, I think I see what's going on. The free PDF file that's available from Chaosium.com has been updated to include borders and grey page backgrounds. My copy of the PDF is the file available from DriveThruRPG.com, which has no page backgrounds or borders (and is also free, though you still have to put it in your cart and check out). Try grabbing the DTRPG version? It seems print-friendlier. I'm not aware of any rules/content differences between the two versions. 1 Quote — “Self-discipline isn’t everything; look at Pol Pot.”—Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
