So I’m only just now realizing this, but the playbooks are supposed to be folded in half book style, aren’t they? So the order of the panels is actually like:

4,1,2,3?

This explains a lot in my head, because I’m looking over the new playbooks and going “Why in the heck is the first thing on the ‘character sheet’ the Moment of Truth?”

Any chance of someone putting together a “digital friendly” version of this with the panels in a good old-fashioned 1,2,3,4 order for folks who aren’t going to print-and-fold?

Edit: Oh, and The Innocent has, under abilities ” ou and your future self…” etc. Might be a nice fix at some point.

  1. I was actually toying with the idea of putting together digital-use playbook sheets with fillable fields and screen-friendly layouts. Unfortunately Real Life(tm) intervenes. 🙂

  2. I don’t think you fold it more than once. Print page one landscape, turn the paper over and print page two on the back of page one. Fold in half so that you have a 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 book. The front is the character artwork. Inside is all the juicy bits. The back is the Moment of Truth and stuff.

  3. Yes to all your questions. You can find PDF page splitters online and after that it’s easy to reorder them with a merge/split PDF program. I did exactly that when I printed as a booklet.

  4. Troy Ray, assuming your printer can handle duplex printing, you can just set the print options to print on both pages using the short side. That will print the booklet ready for folding.

    That’s how I do it. 🙂

  5. Luke JW How does page splitting help? The Moment of Truth stuff is on the same page as the appearance stuff, so splitting out a page doesn’t change anything? Or are you talking about the ability to somehow cut pages in half?

  7. Luke JW Huh! Nice. Do you have any software recommendations? Last time I went looking for something to pull pages out of a PDF, a lot of the free choices I had had annoying stuff like max size for the main PDF or watermarking.
