ZWEIHANDER GRIM & PERILOUS RPG PHONE PDF: Tabletop role-playing game books are converted from print books into a Digital PDF, and then distributed on DriveThruRPG. This digital format typically references the same layout as the print book with hyperlinking, resulting in an 8.5 inch by 11 inch Digital PDF. While Digital PDFs display well on laptops, they don’t suit the most common devices used around a game table – tablets and phones:









INTRODUCING THE PHONE PDF: Working with DriveThruRPG, Andrews McMeel Publishing is proud to announce a new format for digital tabletop role-playing games – Phone PDFs. Revolutionizing the way tabletop role-playing gamers use PDFs at the game table, this new format is optimized for the mobile user. Phone PDF side-steps the frustration of pinch, pan and zoom of traditional Digital PDFs on mobile devices by utilizing a mobile-first design. The Phone PDF is an excellent resource for users who prefer their mobile device at the game table, don’t have the book on-hand to look up an important game rule or are on the go:









DEVICE AGNOSTIC: Our Phone PDF has both Android and Apple users in mind. It is also designed for both tablets and phones. Images remain high fidelity, optimized for older and newer devices:









MOBILE FIRST DESIGN: Our Phone PDF utilizes a mobile-first UX. This makes for a more pleasant user experience. Our Phone PDF includes a navigation footer. This tool persists across the entire experience, allowing you to quickly access the table of contents (ToC). By clicking on contents, it will take you to quick links: a standard ToC you’d normally see in a print book or Digital PDF. Every quick link takes a user deeper into the Phone PDF, revealing all of the headers and hyperlinked content within:









EASE OF NAVIGATION: While the Phone PDF retains mobile device swipe functionality, there are times where you may accidentally move too quickly through the book. That’s why our Phone PDFs incorporate a back button. This button acts as a history tool, allowing you to move through previous pages you visited:









INTERACTIVE INDEX: One common pain RPG gamers suffer from is having to look up terms from the index. This is why we’ve integrated our index as a right-hand rocker in the Phone PDF. This interactive index allows you to quickly click through to any term you need to find, using the same quick link functionality as the navigation footer:









GET STARTED: Eager to try out a Phone PDF? Our first title – Zweihänder Grim & Perilous RPG by Daniel D. Fox – is now available at DriveThruRPG in Phone PDF format. This 672-page dark fantasy RPG was the 2018 winner at Gen Con for Best Game and Product of the Year, and represents how you can take a dense tabletop role-playing game book, and translate it into a simple Phone PDF:
