So 6 years after the last post in this thread might be a bit of thread necromancy but here goes. As you can see by my very stylish charter tag I own every AP. I have personally used and run RotRl, CotCT, LoF, and CC. I loaned my RotRl, Second Darkness to a member of our group to GM. My gaming Group also used someone else’s copy of Serpents Skull. I have also leafed through every module when it arrives and then it goes in a cardboard magazine holder on a shelf to keep it nice and strait and in pristine order. We have had no issues whatsoever with any of those bindings and most of them look as nice as they did when they arrived despite using them to play. I have never creased the covers before hand.
All that changed a few months ago when my Council of Thieves chapter 1 came out of its place on my shelf. Within 5 minutes the 2nd page fell out and a few others are dangerously loose. I thought to myself, “wow, that’s unusual. Must have gotten a bad binding. “. While disappointed I figured, “well nothing can be done now”. And I have treated that volume like a fragile priceless thing lest more pages fell out. So I am not on volume 2 of Council of thieves. And since I had the issue on volume 1 I was being careful. And what happens? Yep, you guessed it. Page 2 slid right out of it after 10
Minutes of gentle use.
So yeah, pretty sure Council of Thieves in general has issues with its bindings.
I will try the prefold from now on since I had this issue but I do hate the creased look.
