Problem #39: Offset Printing

Nov 18th, 2025 4:12 PM

Kristian and Tracy are back for a few encore episodes due to requests from the community! It's only temporary, but we thought we'd record a couple more to go more in depth about the crowdfunding and publishing process. This episode is about offset printing. What is it, why you might want to do it, and how the process of getting it done works. It's a long episode, but we think its an informative one.Join our discord!: https://discord.gg/Bc9dvuzZYJThe Han Cluster® Role Playing Game Website: https://hancluster.comImmaterial Plane: https://immaterialplane.com/
