I'll be dead honest with you guys…
After publishing my previous issue, a confession about my Medieval methods of building cards, I assumed I’d be absolutely axed by the PnP connoisseurs...
Well, I was wrong. Haha.
Quite the opposite happened!
These past couple of days have been wonderful, because I got tons of messages from you folks saying it’s perfectly fine to have an unorthodox approach to building PnPs. And not only that, I also got a few neat tips from you guys! So here I am, sharing a few of those gems with you.
But before that, THANK YOU! This really means a lot to me. :')
Brian:
"Enjoyable read as always. If you'd have asked for input I'd have recommended the Kadomaru PRO NEO Black over the Kadomaru Pro. It's on the same Amazon page you linked. Less effort, easier to use 1 handed. I'd also suggest if you still have your laminator that you give the Scotch brand 3 mil matte pouches a try."
Will surely do, Brian! I already ordered Kadomaru Pro, but will definitely check out NEO BLACK. Will check out the matte pouches too.
Lenny:
"Great confession lol. It's really up to you how you build stuff. You do you. There's no magic formula for everything. Btw which printer are you using? Been meaning to replace my old one."
Good to know, Lenny! I'm currently using an Epson ET-2800, no complaints so far.
Gamesbook (Bluesky):
"I had a debate on BGG with a PnP'er who insisted that his way of handling alignment was The Only True Way. I appreciate passion & enthusiasm but an absolutely dogmatic stance does not foster good conversation or help us explore alternatives!"
Agreed. There’s no one true way. It’s quite subjective!
Martha:
"Sad to see you hate card sleeves, but they aren't that bad? I've been using matte card sleeves, can try it out if you want to."
I don't hate card sleeves, just hate the glare. :(
But will surely check out the one you recommended!
Roni:
"Bro, I still use scissors to cut stuff lmao. Like game boards, cards, etc. I have one of those guillotine cutters but something about it creeps me out!"
Haha. You and me both, bro! Not a fan of guillotine cutters.
Not a fan of scissors either? :P
But hey, you do you!
While more folks are sharing their favorite print-and-play components and techniques, what about you?
