I just got these from a pint on demand service. Oh I am so giddy. If anyone is interested, I have all the Stat books ready for PoD in 6x9 digest as well as the standard 8.5x11. The last book, the Omnibus is all the Saga to D6 books in a single volume with a custom cover I created to mirror that of the Saga core rulebook. Note, I created that cover from scrach, it is not a rehash of the original cover =)

i tried to convert the jpg to pdf but i think something is wrong with dimensiones. Do i need to resize it?

Book Size: Your PDF dimensions are 18.208" x 11.250" (462.49mm x 285.75mm)For the book size you selected, the PDF dimensions need to be within 19.938"-20.062" x 12.688"-12.812". (506.41mm-509.59mm x 322.26mm-325.44mm). Please update your PDF dimensions or select a different book size.

What are the sizes of those? They look to be roughly the same size as the Adventure Journals books.... maybe a touch wider.

Nice looking covers on them, though!

I'm curious how much coin was needed to get these into your possession.

I do not know what service you are using or what step you are on. Nor do I have any idea what you are printing (color, b&w, trade paperback, hardcover). This makes it very hard to help you.

I know that Lulu and xpresslulu are step by step, 1. name the project, 2. upload the interior file, 3. upload cover file. At this point there is the option to download a template that is the appropriate size for your project. You open this up in an image editor like GIMP or PS. Stretch the image I uploaded to the outer edges of the blue area (it tells you what the different edges are for). Then save it as a PDF and upload it.

Hey shootingwomprats, nice job ! Those looks terrific. I would be glad to print those too if you have them as print ready files, thank you ! The SAGA sounds great too !

By the way, I tried to print the REUP book on LULU but I get an error about "unsupported trim" or what not... does anyone have a print-ready of this book for lulu (I tried the one from the G+ community and it gave me the previous error) ? Embarassed

ok, I reply to myself in the hope it'll be of use to others D6 fans :

Lulu changed their printing specifications (bleeding, margin, ...).

Some guys on reddit edited the REUP PDF to change the bleeding margin and others things, and saved it. Other people were able to print its version.

Here is the link of the reddit comment of the guy (philelzebub) that did the edit :

https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsD6/comments/l6akq5/lulu_printing_questions_need_help_star_wars_reup/glalxlo?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Hope this helps other people, Starwars D6 is so good...
