DAE make their own book covers?

I typically just by the PDF, print it, and then make a custom cover for it. It may look very polished, but the jankiness makes it all the more special to me. Anyone else do this?

Did you do the skull door sketch too? Looks awesome anyway.

No, that’s from the Barrowmaze player handouts book. Lots of great art in there!

I've bound a few PDFs, but I typically leave the cover looking very simple.

For zines, I print them on nicer paper and sew them together instead of stapling. For things I intend to be more durable, I make stiffened paper bindings with actual front and back cover boards (usually covered in construction paper).

I love doing this with PDFs, it's much nicer and more personal than putting them on an iPad or something.
