This was a big help for making my zine the right size. Thanks! No more fiddling around on my end. Appreciate it!
no problem, so glad it helped!! would love to see if you're up for sharing :)
I'd love to share! What I'm making is for a tabletop rpg that fits in a cassette case for a game jam. I'm waiting for some miniature dice to come in the mail to add to the case, and then I'll post the project to itch! :) thanks for the interest!
I used your template to make the game instruction zine and the included journal zine. Thanks again :)
