After gettin back into the hobby and game and started a small chaos force, I've decided to slowly make the switch back to being a loyal bearer of the new word !
Tryin to make/convert up a bunch of books and not sure how exactly to go about it. Thinking a piece of plastic we'd for the opened cover, and I was trying to stagger and stack a few cut up magic the gathering card (lands only no one troll me for that) pieces on it but it just doesn't look "right".
Any advice is welcome and appreciated!

For the New word. The word of Lorgar.

Yes, if you hold the "binding" in an open position and coat it with superglue it will retain its shape.

for added effect, add more pages, but then instead of keeping the slice even as you cut the pages to size, curve the cut... I can't describe what I'm sugggesting without the following crummy character representation:
. . . . . . . .. _______
spine -> (______( <-paper

except, it's a bit thicker, and a little more curved. I've got a 100+ year old bible, and it's a good 6 inches thick with about 1-1.5 inches of curve in it.

To glimpse the future, you must look to the past and understand it. Names may change, but human behavior repeats itself. Prophetic insight is nothing more than profound hindsight.

It doesn't matter how bloody far the apple falls from the tree. If the apple fell off of a Granny Smith, that apple is going to grow into a Granny bloody Smith. The only difference is whether that apple grows in the shade of the tree it fell from.
