Hello again and thank you for your reply.

Right, I think I have it! I was probably overthinking it re the A5 layout. Your suggestion that we use an A3 printer sort of shorted out my lobes and I didn´t immediately see how I could get the most from a page of A4, which many of us are limited to. My fundamental problem was hinging, getting the most I could from one piece of paper and finding a way to do that.

I have in my hands an A5 ´zine´ (taller than it is wide!), the front of which has your ´23 cover in portrait, but when I open and rotate it 90CW, it becomes a flipbook, all printed on my normal A4 max printer, one landscape page after another.  And your new layout looks great (way more info for the same ´paper space´! I like it.

For me (Brother L8690CDW), I used page setup-landscape, booklet, (booklet subset)-both sides, binding-left, (orientation)-portrait and ´auto-rotate pages´. I initially printed pages 1 to 8 for test purposes (2 A4) and to limit waste. This may help others.

Kind Regards.

Edit, sorry, an A5 zine 

Sorry, but I'd like to chime in here re the above posters question.  For best results print at 11x17?!? What?!  I have a pretty good laser printer but it only prints max A4, probably like the printers used by many other people here. 

So I had a think about what to do, print maybe 4 pages of A5 on one sheet of A4 with say PDFElements, but I'm still left with loose pages (because of the orientation) - can't saddle stitch, can't staple, could use my comb binder but what a faff and ugly too, not to mention how my many other A5 zines would give it the side eye and mumble quietly about it's 'shape'. Not cool. Could glue the sheaf of pages to bind but again, ugh.. 

I do like the layout and I see why you did it, but for the average Joe, a clean, easy and neat PnP it does not make. How about increasing page count a bit and have each page span two vertical A5s? For most people, there's no easy way out of the dilemma with this large, wonky format. Maybe I'm being a bit thick here, or am missing 'that one simple trick' but can’t see it? 

Sorry, didn't mean to ramble but it seems the latest version has brought it (and Miru 1 too) from a homemade stapled A5 to a professional print job. And yeah, you said just cut 'em out and staple them but that's untidy, would feel and look wrong. Anyhow, this aside, what a fun game you've made!

Hi there, thanks for replying!

Yeah, that's what happened - 1st day got grassland, then the R.6 shrooms event, which triggered the next god event.

I was using Miru 1, v1 and hadn't read v2 yet, where you may have clarified further. 

If I understand correctly then I could fluke the same rolls on day 4 and trigger the 2nd god event (normally day 15), making me skip the intervening days and continue on day 16?

Thanks again. I think I'll print v2 and take it from there. It's a fun game and you managed to pack a lot into a small booklet.  Cheers!

I rolled and got a God Event on day 1. Does this mean I ignore the one on the calendar for day 3? More to the point, how does getting a god event through dice rolls work with those marked on the daily tracker?! Thanks.
