To print the issues, I suggest a duplexing printer. Make sure page scaling is turned off and set the binding to short edge. You might also want to print the covers of the digest issues on cardstock.

Scrollworks 7; January 2001
4 page tabloid

Scrollworks 7 marked the appearance of Scrollworks Press, which was my attempt at creating a publishing entity. Scrollworks 7 is very much a transitional issue. I moved away from GURPS and was headed toward d20. Until I got there, we had issues like this one. This issue was originally published on 17" x 11" paper in a tabloid format. The issue offers a random table that describes colorful tavern wenches. There's even some rules for using healing herbs for a game I vaguely recall. There's even a little blurb for Risus and a call for submissions.

Scrollworks 6; December 2000
8 page digest

For some reason, I am very fond of this little digest. It's just a quirky, fun collection of material. The introduction talks about how I ceased publication, but just couldn't stay away. How many times have you heard that from me over the years? ;) A random table leads off, this time offering 20 different things that can be found in a belt pouch. Fletcher is a down-on-his-luck NPC that can be introduced to your campaign. There's a silly spell called "Summon Snail." You will find a brief spot of fiction about a little girl with a mysterious and secret protector. There's also a Lego-GURPS crossover that was a lot of fun to write.

Scrollworks 5; June 2000
single sheet

As usual, Psycho Babble commentary leads off the issue. In the commentary I mention an article I sold to Pyramid. (I never cashed that check and still have it.) The Interplanar Swapmeet and Astral Bargain Bin offers a new spell, "Cube of Slime." The caster can creates a cubic yard of goo that he or she can manipulate. There's a new NPC named Trader Avinroe. He's a surly dwarf who hates humans. There's a review of "A Million Ways To Die" and a funny article on how to handle smashing a foe in the nuts with a tankard of ale.

Scrollworks 4; May 2000
single sheet

This issue leads off with some introductory comments and some reader mail. This issue features another "This, That and the Other Thing" random table. This table suggests eight strange NPCs that may follow PCs from town to town. This table was eventually revised and was published in Knights of the Dinner Table #46. The Interplanar Swapmeet and Astral Bargain Bin shares some "magic" items from my old GURPS campaign. Finally, there's an NPC named Gideon Stowe who was inspired by real life events.

Scrollworks 3; April 2000
single sheet

Scrollworks was dedicated to GURPS 3rd edition revised for several issues. This single sheet begins with "Psycho Babble" opening comments. Afterward is a random table under the banner "This, That and the Other Thing." This table in particular suggests a dozen campfire encounters to spice up an evening's rest. Afterward is a quirky power stone. The power stone transforms into a live cow when fully charged. It will follow its owner with complete loyalty. There's also an NPC spellcaster by the name of Madelyn.

Scrollworks 1; Spring 1999
4 page digest

The first issue of Scrollworks was printed out on an inkjet printer in 1999. At least I think it was 1999. There were only a handful of copies mailed out - perhaps five in all. It would be months and months before I wrote a second issue. This issue offers an introduction, some humorous quotes, a brief article about a web page demonizing D&D and there's even an article on how to improve combat scenes. It's all rather primitive, but it was my first effort, so I'll always love it.
