Printing cardboard heroes

[philosophyguy]

Are there POD services that can take the cardboard heroes PDFs and turn them into actual heroes like what was included in the DF boxed set? I can see wanting additional copies of some of the creatures, and it would be nice to have real versions of the past cardboard hero PDFs that were included in the Kickstarter.

If you have a printer that can handle card-stock you could probably print them yourself. If your printer can't most office supply stores have a copy center that should be able to handle it.

The new Cardboard Hero's in the DFRPG Boxed Set are over 1/16" of an inch thick, card stock is not equivalent. If you have Ogre 6E, they're made out of the same stuff as the counters in that set, or standees in Munchkin.

That said, I have got a lot of use out of card stock Cardboard Hero's over the years.

I use 110 lb. cardstock in my inkjet printer for tri-fold figures, and it's certainly "good enough."

But if you're looking to print things onto chipboard as heavy as the Ogre/DFRPG figs, my suggestion would be adhesive printer paper. Print what you want, cut it out, peel the backing, stick it on. (Or, ya know, old school -- just print what you want on regular paper and use a glue stick. Either way, gamer arts and crafts time!)

Is there a chance that they will release better better quality versions of the pdf? The actual in-box cardboard heroes look fine, but the pdf has major compression artifacts (Same goes for the map.)

Can you be more specific in what you're having an issue with? (I can't quite tell if you mean all the PDFs — including the booklets — or just the Cardboard Heroes . . . and, if the latter, what's not looking right about it to your eyes.)

Are there any plans to re print the full line of Cardboard heroes just like the ones in DFRPG?

No plans. Is this something you would support if we took the idea of a Cardboard Heroes box to Kickstarter?

Actually, yes I would absolutely support it. (If they were done the way you did in the DFRPG) I think the product is excellent and should be out there for gamers to use.

I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

(Depends on the precise contents and price, of course, but this is something I'd be likely to back.)
