Lulu.com printing issues

Hi all, 

Curious if anyone has run into this issue...

I went over to Lulu.com to have a print version made of Outpost 5 and was not able to proceed because I had errors with transparencies and because some line art and font sizes were too small. I know I could send it to have it printed locally but what I would get is a black and white document in A5 format for the same price of a full colour A4 softcover with Lulu. Has anyone had this issue or perhaps a Lulu -friendly PDF they could share?

Hey there, thanks for checking out the game. Sorry to say I can't help you with Lulu specific issues but I can confirm that I have successfully printed the zine in A5 size at a (local to UK) place I use www.doxzoo.com with no issues. I believe they post outside the UK if an alternative printer is an option. 

I've posted some specific print instructions here for Doxzoo.

FYI - I am not affiliated with Doxzoo in anyway but am a happy customer of their services.

Thanks for that info. Even with international shipping, I think it would most cost effective to order from them than to have the books printed locally. I sent 3 of the HoA books to print at Lulu over the weekend and after those arrive, I'll likely have them all printed over time. 

I'm in my 40s, haven't played pretty much any RPG in the past 20 years, but have my old gaming group interested in playing even though we all live all over the place now. Your ruleset is brilliantly concise with just enough depth to cover all the bases needed for a fulfilling gaming session. Are there any plans for a v3 version of the Referee's guide and Monster Compendium in the works?

Yes, the plan is to update both the Monsters Compendium and Referees Guide.

There’s a first version of the Monsters Compendium available on the Discord channel out for early feedback. Revised Referees Guide will follow afterwards.

Thanks for checking out the game.
