Crossposting this from Dragonsfoot, in the hope that someone here can probably point me to an answer:
Quote:So, I am giving the finishing touches to my MAGNUM OPUS, Mordred - The Last Adventure.
Now, as several other posts over here have indicated in the past, I have been struggling with the layout for a few months now:
The thing is, the first release is supposed to be a "Player's Guide"-style book,
and, hopeless sucker for the classic Dragon Warriors line of books that I am,
I would love to do it in DIN A5, or in the US "half-letter" format.
Now, seeing my own roleplaying endeavors more as a labor of love than a for-profit enterprise, I had meant to self-publish my books through my own editorial start-up.
...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand as such, to get back to my question, I would obviously rely a lot on print-on-demand.
Alas, I find that the usual suspects among the print-on-demand dealers do not seem to support the format I prefer!
Can anybody point me to POD-online publisher, or tell me how to bait the good people at RPGNow so they accept the format for POD?
To him or her who can really help me out, I promise FREE BOOKS FOR LIFE for all publications I do under the Mordred/Days of Rain label.

From here: http://www.arpia.be/2010/09/arpia-novel ... on-demand/
blog Wrote:...Finally, my favourite solution: Lulu.com. This has the highest quality cover paper, and I was forced to adopt a new format for Lulu.com, namely A5....

Thanks, man.
I clarified over at DF, though, that I am not convinced that LULU is the best option for RPGs, due to the limits in design,
the problem with shipping, and the overall quality.
Rigt now, I think I'll create the book for Lightningsource-optimized POD services as US half-letter first, and then probably port to LULU.
But if RPGNOw doesn't support POD of DIN A5, then I guess I'll have to change the format... Again. :x

A small update - and, really, I don't want to spam this page again and again, just because I'm somewhat involved here,
but this might of interest to the people that follow my endeavors:
http://daysofrain.me/
That's my personal blog, and my new home on the web.
I write about one article per week, related mainly to Mordred, but Blackmoor pops up there and again.
So, if you like, take a look. (And, of course, please like/follow/subscribe. )

Hello, boils and ghouls!
I need a designer - hopefully, a pro - to do some, well, design work for me.
While I am looking for quality work, I don't mind "keeping things in the family", if you know what I mean.
If you are a designer, or design aficcionado, and have a good portfolio available online, don't mind dropping me a PM, and we can talk.

From DF, copypasta, but it's hot today, and I am too lazy to rephrase:
Slowly, slooooowly, things are moving ahead. I finally give a structured introduction to the world of Mordred with a series on world-building.
Also, I give a first glimpse on a few of the setting's core characters, with the occasional respectful nod to Dave Arneson's Blackmoor,
and my friends from the Last Fantasy Campaign.
Read... And VOTE! ...Please!

Hehe, thanks, man!
I am still working on our characters, as well, but I still have not found a good explanation why an ogre would keep a talking monkey!
(Me rightfully being the monkey, of course. )
