FERAL is now available from Exalted Funeral. It is formatted with great art and layout and quite a bit easier to follow than the draft. It provides a basic procedure and a very thorough overview of solo gaming and introduction into some new innovative concepts such as creating your own scaled tables and tags. You can use as much or little of it as you want. It has massive application outside of Primal Quest. You could run any solo game using ideas from this zine. Highly recommend it if you are into solo gaming at all.

The inside is fine (nice margins in there). And if I used a little more care when cutting off the creep, the results would have been better. Serves me right for being careless ;)
This is really a nice booklet adventure! While the tables are setup to use cards, I'm partial to using dice, but it looks like that will be pretty easy to do. There's only a couple tables that have 13 rows.
Oh, OK. So it might be available in print some day soon?
If you don't have any intent to sell the physical booklet, I will print it myself. But the booklet only has 38 pages (so it will print with 2 blank pages). Can you go ahead and modify the PDF so it has 40 pages and will print without blank pages? I'm sure you can think of some cool content to jam in there ;)
Also, if you find that you enjoy making zines, I recommend having these:

I'm not sure what is meant by (g). If it is grammage, gsm, or g/m2, then 110lbs cardstock is between 270-308gsm. Paper weights are confusing because there are different categories such as "text" and "cover/card". For example, an 8.5x11 inch sheet of 100lbs "text" weighs less than 100lbs "card" because text weight is measured with a stack of paper that has a larger dimension than that of the stack of cardstock.
But you don't have to use the same paper weight as I do. Just find some nice thick cardstock you think will do nicely as a cover that can be run through a laser printer.
Thanks :) 110lbs cardstock cover, full color laser print interior and saddle stitched. I have an industrial guillotine that can cut a ream of paper like butter. So sizing zines and cutting the creep off the edge is a cinch.
Even though it was designed for A5, you left enough of a margin so that I could print it 8.5x11 (5.5x8.5 folded). So thanks for keeping your margins generous. My only recommendation is that you also do that for the text on the cover (the white text goes almost to the edge and could use more space there for us USA folks).
This book is awesome! I have been waiting for the official hardcover for a while now and recently realized we live in an age where I can send a PDF to a printer and they will create a 100 page full-color hardcover for $45 + $7 S&H. It's not as nice as the official one is supposed to be (I'm still looking forward to receiving mine once Newyear fulfills orders), but it's pretty good and can serve me now at the game table.
