I am sharing a table at a small festival market next month with a couple of other horror creators. Thinking of printing the CRYPT Summary to sit next to my podcast cards, since half my guests end up talking about the board anyway. Has anyone done this? Does it print okay in black and white?
Bringing the printed CRYPT Summary to a festival market table: tips?
HauntedMicTalksCreatorOriginal post#1 ExchangeKeeperStaffMod#2 Staff here. The Summary is meant to be printed and shared, so bring it anywhere. Print it as-is so people get the real address and not a copy of a copy.
SpreadsheetSpecterFan#3 Printed a batch on heavier paper and it held up great. The type stays readable in grayscale too.
GenreDeskGregPress#4 Press table tip: people pick up flyers that answer 'what is this' in one glance. The Exchange concept does that. 'A stock market for horror' makes strangers stop walking.

Then they read the footer about peace of mind and they are hooked.
FogMachineFrankFan#6 Put them under a small weight. Festival markets are windy, and I once chased a stack of zines across an entire parking lot.
LoFiLurkerCreator#7 Bring tape. Bring more tape. Every table setup I have ever done needed tape.
HauntedMicTalksCreator#8 Update: printed thirty and found a little plastic skull to use as a paperweight. Will report back on how many survive the weekend.
NoSleepNadiaFan#9 The skull paperweight is the most important detail here. Please post a photo.
TheNightDeskStaffMod#10 Friendly reminder for anyone doing this: sharing the Summary is welcome, but please do not present yourself as official CRYPT staff at a table. Fans talking about it is the best promotion there is.
