Dragon / Dungeon: POD ever an option?

Oct 06, 2010 14:35:38 Figured I would ask this one, I can see where everyone is looking for PDF of the books, but I'm kind of looking for the opposite. I would like to know if there is any chance for print on demand options for Dragon and Dungeon? I'm the kind of guy that likes to read the articles and such relaxing on my recliner or just before bed, places where a monitor is not very accessible. Yes, I can use my laptop or eReader but having a good old dead tree version is so much more easy in these cases. I can and will use the digital versions, and wear out my poor printer when I need something but would like the option if it can be worked out.

Oct 06, 2010 14:46:55 I'm curious about this, I've taken Dungeon articles to Office Max and had them printed beautifully for adventures I was running. Are you taking about Wizards printing them and sending them to you? is there something keeping you from printing things?

Oct 06, 2010 21:23:29 Kinkos is weird and often has refused to idly print things for me. They will say things like 'We can't print copyrighted material without permission.", but they'll point me towards the computer desks where I can use their same printers and print whatever I want.
What I do in these situations, is print out an email I make up from Wizards giving me permission to print whatever it is I'm trying to print for my home use. They always accept this printed email.

BUT, because I hate this kind of inane corporate behavior, I began using Office Max, who has never made me play such games just to get something printed.

I would think that Office Max is cheaper than if Wizards charged for printing, but actually I've thought in the past that it'd be pretty nice to have the power cards for my character printed as actual cards and mailed to me. Who better to do some such thing than Wizards of the Coast?
