We will work on this tomorrow and upload a new version.

The easiest for us would be to include it in its original order. However, in that version, the resolution page is on the reverse side of the previous day (the PDF will have the resolution instructions before the day it refers to). When printed double sided, it makes it easier to look at the resolution instructions as you view the current day without having to constantly flip the page over.

Is that ok? Or do you suggest the same order it is in now?

I would suggest being exactly the physical version is. That way on page if you print 2 or 4 pages of the PDF on one sheet you get:

front of page | back of that page
front of page | back of that page

So back of the page is right next to the front of the page in a 2 PDF page or 4 PDF page print setup.

Alrighty. We will work on organizing it in this order. Hope this helps everyone, too. Thanks for clarifying.

This is a bit different from the physical version, so it might take a little time. In case you were wondering about the design and why it was done the way it was.

Your suggestion is (and it makes sense when printing even numbered pages):

March 3 (First)| March 3 resolution (After)
March 4 (First) | March 4 resolution (After)

This is so you can read these together - Side by side.

The physical version has the resolution to the current day on the back of the previous day (the resolution for March 3 appears before March 3rd ).

March 2 (Front) | March 3 resolution (Back)
March 3 (Front) | March 4 resolution (Back)

This is so that when March 2nd is over, you can tear off that page to reveal March 3rd. You will then have the resolution to March 3rd in hand (the back of March 2) to view both pages together. Otherwise it is on the back and you will need to flip back and forth to see how to resolve the day, This gets annoying with multiple rolls for combat.

I did not realized that the previous day's back page was that resolution for the current day. Looks like I was confused. In that case, the order in which the physical copy is in will be just as good as the order that I suggested. So no need to reorder the pages I think. We just need a link to download a PDF in the same order as the physical copy.

I wish the pnp pdf had been set up this way already. I'm a little bummed because I spent a lot of time manipulating the pdf for printing, cutting, and gluing only to find out that the pages are not really how they were suppose to be. I read the rules before printing and liked the idea of not needing to rip off todays page to resolve the action. But that is not the case. Now if I want to do today's actions I have to rip off the page and that reveals tomorrow spoiling it.

The DIY print-n-play file was organized so that the Calendar could be printed and cut (4x4) like the physical version (with the resolution for the current day on the back of the previous day).

Please consider using this file and read the instructions for guidance on how to print.

Are you referring to the original file or the file that someone had to fix? The file I downloaded from you is just single pages with a front followed by their back. And the 4x4 file that I downloaded a month ago, appears to have the same issue. The results for today Jan 5 (reading the letter) should be on Jan 4 (Victor Fellmont) but is isn't if I print them front and back.

Oh my, you are right. Sorry. I did not check this with my own printer. My brain must have swapped sides when looking at it. I still believe that our fan, Jarrod, did a good job with this, but it doesn't print out as the physical version does. I hope it isn't too annoying.

We are almost done with updating the version so all pages (even blank ones) are present in the PDF.

Sounds good. Thanks!
