It's been awhile since I've been here, but I hope you guys can appreciate this . I recently bought the Wizbro PDFs of OD&D and Greyhawk. So glad they made them available. Being not overly happy with the new covers, I replaced them with some custom ones I made. Click the pictures for larger sizes. Unfortunately, that's a smudge on the Volume 1 cover from crayon. Blasted kids! Still, I think they turned out nice. Here's shots of the interior covers of some: I also took off the WotC logo, just because something inside me told me to do so. I've put my own name on it on the inner cover too . All-in-all the cost of printing each was about $1.25. Maybe less. I'm pretty happy with the results. They're not originals, but they're old-school in look and feel. If anyone is at NTRPG, I'll have them with me pretty much the whole time.

Been wanting to do this for a while. If you don't mind me asking, what was the file that you used to make the front covers, and did you print them out at home, or did you get it done somewhere else?

Maybe I'll get to see your prints in person. I'll be there by tonight for a 7pm game of b/x!
Safe travels.

I found some really high-quality scans and used those as templates to create my own covers. I also created a custom ampersand symbol because the one from the Quentin font didn't really match the original logo. I printed them on my home printer and used paper for the covers that I found at a Big Chain art supply store, Michaels. PM me and I'll give you some more details.

Look for Jeff. I probably won't be there today (Sat) until Chainsaw's AS&SH game this evening at 7pm. Hopefully I'll get to see them! Peace
