I'm on the final stretch of this project! Today I printed out the remaining tokens, cards, and rule book. I printed everything on heavy stock, glossy photo paper. The rule book caused me some problems when printed on this paper, so I ended up throwing it away and printing it on standard paper.
Yeah... the rule book. That caused me some problems. Because of my choice to make the game board into a folding box, the size of the rule book was severely limited. It's only 7 pages, so with one more page it's just the right length for a PocketMod. Alas, shrinking it down that much made it completely illegible.
After a very ugly bout of copy-and-paste, editing, and re-formatting, I finally managed to get it all down into PocketMod format while still being legible. (By "editing" I mean that I took out most of what is not strictly about how to play the game.) I tacked on the quick reference guide as the last page -- this is a bit small, so I'm probably going to print a separate, slightly larger, quick reference guide. To be honest, I much prefer the larger format rule book, but I had to compromise for the sake of fitting it in the box.
The cards and tokens were a comparative breeze: I just printed them out, cut, and laminated. Ok... I haven't laminated them just yet. But that should go quick and tomorrow evening I'll finally have my completed, portable version of Dune Express.
Final pics of the completed set should be up tomorrow!
