[QUOTE="John Dallman, post: 8606007, member: 6999616"] Zoomable PDFs without complex backgrounds will get you a long way. I was never actually able to read the D&D3.x rules because of the complex backgrounds. Serif fonts are generally preferable for body text. Light-on-dark is best left to reader software, since some people need it and others can't read it. If colour [i]has[/i] to be used, keep it very simple and clear. About 8% of males of Northern European descent have a red/green problem, which means they can't reliably distinguish those colours from each other, or from brown, and often can't tell yellow from orange. Neat colour effects using any of these colours tend to disappear into confusing splodges. I'm partially sighted. Italics are fine for emphasis, but not for text longer than about 25 words. I have never been able to read the vignettes in classic White Wolf books, which has definitely handicapped my appreciation of those games.
