D&D 5E Dark Sun 5E Campaign Guide & Monster Manual (link) 1.9

[toucanbuzz]

Hello,
I'm a big fan of Dark sun from 2e and I appreciate the work and play testing you have done for your project.
Could you please also release printer friendly (white backgrounds)? I still print some pages on my printer for quick reference.
Thanks

I modified to B&W, not sure that does the trick or not as I'm not savvy with design! Dropbox link here.

I was hoping for a version that requires less ink to be printed at home.
I also find it mach easier to read on a screen when there is no background.
Looks great tho even in black and white.

Thank you mate, hopping to launch a 2nd Ed converted Athas campaign after this one!

I used lulu.com to print mine at a cost of around $4 for a full color glossy paperback print. You have to invent your own cover and it took roughly 2 weeks to arrive, but if you're okay with that, wonderful way to get your font-formatted PDFs into something you can hold.

Excellent work! Thank you. I'll use the updated 1.9 version for a sequel I've been planning. (Edit: Well, turns out the pdf is not searchable nor selectable. Guess I'll have to skip this then, primarily because of the former, though the latter is puzzling as well.)

A minor suggestion, if I may: I think it would be great if you included the version number in the text of the pdf (on the title page in small or in a credits paragraph or in an appendix with the change log, maybe.)

Anything new over here? Just curious.

Why isn't the text searchable and selectable? (Loved and printed v1.6 back in the day, but having checked the later updates and with our games having moved online it's a rather bad and huge setback.)

I have about 1% proficiency in coding and no subscription to Adobe for making ordinary PDFs searchable. I've been happy to link/open up the underlying coding to whoever wants to tinker with it, but our campaigns have moved to other settings and I haven't returned to update anything.

Ok, I understand completely.
Meanwhile I found your public GMBinder version of the same document (over at Dark Sun Player's Guide 5th Edition D&D by Toucanbuzz ) and have found that using the Print/Generate PDF option (in Google Chrome, at least) can produce a searchable and selectable file (when choosing the print to pdf option.)
Thanks again for the excellent work!
