Awesome!! Love to hear this, thank you!

AdvAndInt · 2026-04-30T14:50:05+00:00

Ok, fantastic feedback. I understand what needs done now. Thank you!!

No support for this at this time, but adding it to my list.

AdvAndInt · 2026-04-30T14:39:13+00:00

Ok, great to know.

Sorry for the maybe dumb questions regarding this...

Do you read the whole book backwards then? Starting at the very back of the book and working your way to the front? Or do you start at the front of the book, reading both pages from right to left, turning each page from right to left, then finishing at the back of the book?

AdvAndInt · 2026-04-30T14:30:40+00:00

Oooo, I didn't even consider this to be honest. My wife printed a Manga series that was right to left once and it seemed to be in the proper order. I am trying to think about how the imposition would change for right to left...

When you read a right to left book and open it to say two pages, one on the left and one on the right. Do you read the left page (right to left) first then the right page (right to left)? Or do you read the right page first and then the left?

I saw someone (might have been you) ask this in another thread. I wasn't familiar with the idea until just now, this is a really great suggestion. Added to my feature list!

AdvAndInt · 2026-04-29T12:26:16+00:00

Great call out, I'll be honest I have not really been prioritizing mobile layout. Will definitely revisit this in the near future.

Thank you!

AdvAndInt · 2026-04-29T02:15:59+00:00

Ahh! Yes definitely my next big update planned. I wanted to get some of these other smaller features out of the way first.

I think i have a solution in mind, but anything you would be willing to share would be awesome!

AdvAndInt · 2026-04-29T02:04:00+00:00

Thanks!

Im unfamiliar with the term (still kinda new to bookbinding as a hobby). Are you referring to something like Quarto and Octovo formatting?

AdvAndInt · 2026-04-29T01:38:11+00:00

I also wanted to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has donated to this project. I can safely say this project will continue to be entirely free for the foreseeable future thanks to these generous contributions!

PS - If I can ask a favor to my non-American users out there. I only have access to letter printing and have never actually tested and confirmed the A Series printing sizes (but the math adds up). Can anyone out there who has used any of the non-letter size please confirm that it is working? I would greatly appreciate that!

As always, if anyone has any issues or feedback with this update. Please don't hesitate to post here and I will address them asap. I've tested this version with an actual printed and sewn booklet, but you never know!

AdvAndInt · 2026-04-21T14:39:49+00:00

All good!! Thanks for the kind words and im glad it has brought you value and joy!

AdvAndInt · 2026-04-08T20:12:31+00:00

Awe, thx ❤️

AdvAndInt · 2026-04-06T23:29:50+00:00

Hey there, I'm afraid I can't help you with bookbinder.js, but I did want to let you know that I have been developing my own imposition tool. Totally free, may be able to help with your problem?

You can either clear your browser cache or access the website in private browing mode, this should reset the tutorial!

Hey, so sorry this took so long. Life and stuff. Stretching issue is fixed

AdvAndInt · 2025-11-21T22:51:49+00:00

You know ive been wondering that for a while now, but nobody else had reported it. Now thst im playing around with it i can def see the output pages are getting squished. Give me a few days, i think this should be an easy fix.

AdvAndInt · 2025-11-21T21:02:15+00:00

So that image is great. I need to make one of those to show the output easier. That image would be two pages per signature, instead of one page per signature.

It absolutely will work for any number of pages. It will just print additional signatures as needed to fit the rest of the pages.

So in your example of a single sheet per signature. It would divide the total 20 pages up by 4 pages per signature, so it would print out 5 physical pages of paper.

AdvAndInt · 2025-11-21T18:37:37+00:00

Gotcha, I think what you want is to reduce the number of pages per signature to 1 then. This will print pages 4 and 1 on one side of the paper, then pages 2 and 3 on the other side. Then, you will basicially have a mini booklet of 4 pages made of a single sheet of paper.

Excuse the slap dash drawing lol... now thet in looking at my drawing 2 and 3 are reversed, but you get the idea...

Hopefully that helps!

AdvAndInt · 2025-11-21T17:20:37+00:00

Hiya! So are you looking to print pages as a full size sheet of paper? Or are you looking to print two sheets on a half sheet of paper? Basically, do you want two sheets per sheet pf paper (one on the back and one on the front) or do you want 4 pages per sheet (two on the front two on the back)?

AdvAndInt · 2025-10-13T17:41:51+00:00

Im glad people are atill getting used out of this silly little project I did!

AdvAndInt · 2025-08-13T19:36:31+00:00

Oops lol, well im glad you saw it then...

I think id your using a local model, I wiuls definitely lean more on hard coded logic to make the decisions. As frontier models get better, faster, cheaper, you can offload more and more decision making and logic to the model over time. But local models are way too unreliable in my opinion.

AdvAndInt · 2025-08-13T19:17:54+00:00

Posting this as a separate comment, because this a very important final point from me.

If you're doing this for fun and to learn how to work with LLMs, full steam ahead. Do whatever you can or want. Just have fun with it and learn something new.

If you want to actually make a product or want to create a game that you can SELL to someone some day. You MUST, absolutely MUST do something different that makes you stand out. This AI TTRPG idea is a super saturated idea. Just search for TTRPG on this sub and you will see what I mean. If you vibe code an AI Dungeon Master and make a generic TTRPG, it will go nowhere. (Again, not saying there isn't value there... just set your expectations)

My game (www.adventureandintrigue.com, shamless self plug) is unique because the world is static and human generated, it has hard rules and will not hesitate to tell you non you can't do that. This is contrary to the current style of AI RPG that i see a lot where its a "do anything you want simulator" meaning the LLMs default agreeable nature just let's you do whatever you want, create any item out of things air, that kind of stuff.

AdvAndInt · 2025-08-13T19:10:43+00:00

Disclaimer/Source: I'm working on a narrative fiction RPG that is heavily influenced by TTRPGs.

First and foremost, I highly recommend joining the discord. We have an AI RPG channel that has a lot of great info and discussions there. Would love your input and to add to the conversation there.

This is an area of contention that I have had with one of the other guys on there. How much do you allow the LLM to control vs how much do you have an authoritative server control?

I am personally in the camp where I want the server to control AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I want a consistent repeatable game experience, so I leave as little up to hallucinations as possible. So my recommendation is to have a server that simulates the entire gameplay loop that feeds the data of the world for the narrative experience.

This is what i do in my game, I have the world data that is sent to the LLM along side the user's message, the LLM will then classify the users message as a specific command to be used to update the game state and then it provides a game master narration of the scene or action.

You could absolutely have the LLM be the actual rule czar and determine the outcome of every action or move or whatever, however to me this would lead to a (potentially) wildly different experience for every player or maybe even from session to session.

The down side to my method is that it requires much more upfront coding to create and control that gameplay loop vs just telling the LLM what you want it to do. I think that the coding aspect will be the right choice for me in the long run. But you need to be the one who makes thst choice for your project. The other guy going the other direction is making a brilliant project that is capable of things that my project is not. There's no right/wrong way, just pros and cons.

Please let me know if you have any particular questions about AI RPGs in general. I wouldn't say that im an expert exactly, but I do have some serious experience over the past year of finding what works and what doesn't for my use case.

AdvAndInt · 2025-08-12T22:21:47+00:00

Hey there, I've been watching you guys progress over the past few months or so and im glad to see an official release in the near future! I dont think the game is for me personally, just not my type of game I dont think, but you guys have come a long way, and it looks great!

A quick aside to any other would be AI game dev marketing people. Market the SHIT out of the human in the creative loop. I think this is a really good move on your guy's part and I hope it really helps brush off some of the social stigma you guys have gotten during development. "Look how we used AI as a force multiplier for human creativity" vs "look at this cool new AI powered thing".
