Sometimes, people swap helpful information on those boards, so helpful it's worth sharing with the e23 community at large.Today's helpful hint is about the GURPS Magic Spell Charts, an incredibly handy (and free!) set of flowcharts that show exactly what spells are prerequisites to what other spells in the GURPS Fourth Edition magic system. The problem posted on the board was, if you punch holes in a printout of the PDF to put the pages in a binder, the holes will punch through some of the information, because some of the pages are so full that they run very close to the edges. Two solutions were immediately suggested by other forum posters, and we share them with you: insert the pages in full-page sleeve protectors and put those in the binders, or print the pages at 90%.
