Re: 2016 Holiday Ornaments (and 2017 Monster Calendar) are on sale now!
Phooey--I got behind schedule in holiday prep this year and didn't start my shopping until now. I've had an OotS calendar at my office every single year since they first started coming out, and now I'm going to have to find something else for next year.

Re: 2016 Holiday Ornaments (and 2017 Monster Calendar) are on sale now!
Kinko's (or, more accurately, FedEx Office) actually specifically has the ability to make calendars. Now while these are simply calendars with photos on the top half, I am aware that these guys are very versatile, and I would be amazed if they didn't have the ability to print the PDF in calendar form.

Re: 2016 Holiday Ornaments (and 2017 Monster Calendar) are on sale now!
Wouldn't they need a release? I have no idea about the legal aspects of this, but I'd imagine they'd treat it like professional photos. I'd advise looking into the legalities before trying anything.

Re: 2016 Holiday Ornaments (and 2017 Monster Calendar) are on sale now!
Indeed, making a bootleg calendar out of the released PDFs strikes me as one of those things you shouldn't do. I wont speculate on the legality, but it seems... crass. And I suspect the Giant will be coming in with his Red Voice to comment on the idea soon too.

Then print it on your home printer on nice paper. They sell paper in that size.
This isn't really a copyright issue, why else would you purchase a PDF of a calendar other than to print it out, same as the monster minis PDFs.

Re: 2016 Holiday Ornaments (and 2017 Monster Calendar) are on sale now!
The PDF versions of the calendars are now live and available to buy on Gumroad:
- Here are links:
2017 Monster Calendar
2016 Villains Calendar
2015 Heroes Calendar
2014 Tenth Anniversary Calendar
Discount Calendar Bundle: Buy all 4 calendars together and get 30% off the total price - The calendars have a specific notice on the back granting permission to print them for personal usage. That should be enough so that your local copyright-fearing print shop will be willing to print one out for you, if you want to hang it up and use it as an actual calendar. It will still have a watermark on the front cover.
- The art on these calendars is high-res (300 dpi) but it is NOT the infinitely scalable vector art I use for the book PDFs. The reasons are complex and technical but amount to, "The transparency I use doing the shading just wasn't working when converted to PDF." I may someday figure out how to troubleshoot it, but I've tried every trick I know already. However, the good news about this is that a really complex transparency-laden PDF was likely to get messed up being printed out anyway, whereas this format should sail through a printer with no problems at all.
- Full announcements on the News page and Twitter are coming, eventually.

Re: 2016 Holiday Ornaments (and 2017 Monster Calendar) are on sale now!
Probably just better off buying some glossy paper and making a slightly lower quality print at home and hanging it wherever you want.
A near-professional quality print is gonna be costly for a low amount of pages.
(but, yeah, can't say those prices surprise me; there's a reason why Rich didn't want to do a short print run for the missing copies)Concluded: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition

Re: 2016 Holiday Ornaments (and 2017 Monster Calendar) are on sale now!
Yes, I think finding a printer at work/school/friends is probably the best bet for most.
Also probably not the thread to keep yakking about this, though.
PS: Bought the set. They're not Vector quality, no, but they're still very very good. Even when blown up at 5x magnification they still look magnificent on my computer screen.Last edited by Porthos; 2016-12-15 at 04:23 PM.

Don't go to a photo center and don't use photo paper, that's too high quality. These are calendars, not photographs. Even the physical ones for sale are just glossy paper. You also want them to be foldable so you can bundle them together. Glancing at Staples real quick, it will cost about $10 total, which brings it in line with what people paid for a physical copy.

Re: 2016 Holiday Ornaments (and 2017 Monster Calendar) are on sale now!
Thank you so much for putting the PDF on sale, Giant. I got overconfident because previous years always had extra calendars and when I went to order mine (later than usual), they were out of stock. I bought the whole bundle even though I already have the first 3, and I'll see if I can get this one printed somehow. Thanks so much for all your effort, even including a notice so that we can print our own calendar :)

Re: 2016 Holiday Ornaments (and 2017 Monster Calendar) are on sale now!
Lovely, thanks! I picked up the three calendars I didn't already have. In fact, the 2014 calendar was the last thing I ordered from Ookoodook to date, and my shipping fee exceeded the price of the calendar by a hefty margin.
I bought the latest book from Amazon instead. It didn't feel right, and the book got frayed a bit around the edges during shipping, but it was so much cheaper...

Do CafePress promo codes not apply to OotS merchandise?

Hmm. A suspiciously calendar shaped package from ookoodook just arrived. I wonder what it could possibly be.

Re: 2016 Holiday Ornaments (and 2017 Monster Calendar) are on sale now!
Physical calendar arrived. Delightful! I don't really use it as a calendar (too many calendars at home as is), but as a neat little artbook. It'll go on the shelf next to the other OotS books in short order.

Spoiler: Monster IdentificationIn the background, you have a blink dog, a satyr, a lillend and a centaur.
At the table, you have Julio, some elf, a titaness, a pixie and what looks like a red slaad.
I'm still trying to find and ID everything in September. I'm up to ten monsters.
