Here's a custom idea - C&C book jackets!

Post by slimykuotoan »

Would these be possible at all? It'd be cool to order book jackets for PHBs, M&Ts and etcetera, featuring published artwork from C&C!

I do the old HS trick of brown paper bags and label,, I'm sure artists hate me but back in my time, it was assume the books would be needed a while... CnC is definitely going to last with the basic book lasting longer... but I like the idea, a reprinted jacket that looks like the cover but protects I would pay for....

It would be cool if TLG could put out something like the old Chessex "Dragonskin" covers.

I just cut the covers off.

Mark and I were talking about this the other day (we have to have them for the Storytellers Thesaurus) and I think they are doable. Paper choice would be the real problem, you want something sturdy, that holds color and is pliable.

The options for jacket materials I would assume are huge, some of the synthetics can be pretty tough... Clear might not be that bad of an option if it doesn't look to dorky. Protection of the spine and corners are likely the hardest battle, not protecting the big flat faces. I have some PH from 1979 in their original (or possibly) second brown paper bag protection and its only the spines and corners that really don't hold up.. I'd be happy to help with this project if you need it.
