Sample Handout

It's called OldNewspaperTypes. I snagged it from a free Font site. Any serif font would do, but I wanted something that had the look of old letterset impact printing. I wasn't able to get newsprint at Staples. The place I went for the printing, my printer doesn't handle 11x17. So I did the best I could; or the worst I could depending on how you look at it.

Thanks! (And for anyone else that find this post and wants the font, HERE is a free font site link to it.)

That is perfect! Can't beat an impact typewriter font for lettering in that kinda stuff.

Updated. My innate desire to create got the better of me and I did an entire broadsheet newspaper. "The Pilot" for Air the Third Month, fifteenth day 2259. Noon Edition.

"A sample broadsheet newspaper from the City of Seahaven. Obviously not universally useful, but it might be interesting as an example of a player handout. Yes there is information that is of some importance to the Player Characters, but certainly not all of it. Most of the ads and about two thirds of the text are drawn from historical Victorian sources dates 1860 to 1880. I printed several copies. I was gratified by the way my players passed the papers back and forth digging into the contents. The file is an 11"x17" broadsheet in PDF format."

Looks fantastic!

Did you use Adobe InDesign to create that?

Open Office 2.4.0 on openSUSE 11.0. The "esport to pdf" tool is handy.
