Saddle Stitch vs. Perfect Binding

[davewoodrum]

THAT'S why nightmares keep seeping into the world of Gothos!

Put your books away! Millions of innocent imaginary beings are suffering!

...Oh no, not until some future installment of Nightmares And Dreams includes the "Logic Beast" (or "Logic Thing", take your pick) ... a 12' diameter swirling cloud that groans and gibbers and flashes with strange light and glowing runes.... an outsider product of chaos and nightmares that is born when one stays up too late designing material for one company only to finish the night off (it's 4am mind you) relaxing with a role playing book from Mystic Eye Games only to fall alseep during this course. At which point the person ends up having dreams ALLLL NIGHT LONG that are a nice merger of what they were working on (especially what didn't get finished), what they were reading, and some person they knew as a child who got married back in the early 1979 and suddenly owns a tractor.
Which requires the target to succeed a Will Save (DC: 14) or suffer a temporary -2 to Intelligence and Wisdom for 1d4 hours due to the fact that their thoughts have become jumbled. The target is unable to remember what was reality, what was a dream, and what they were supposed to be doing next....


And don't tell me that this is never happened to you because most likely it has....

Just a note on the photocopiable perfect page thing, a book for the older Traveller game called the Naval Architechs Manual was saddlestitched but all the maps were on the outter 2/3 of the page to make it easy to photocopy.

Something publishers might want to think about with maps and handout and such......

Perfect bound, no question.

...That's nice when publishers do that.... that way you don't have that weird warping effect to the letters on the side...
