Looking for PNP games with a campaign or some kind of progression

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to the world of pnp and, since I play solo, I tend to enjoy games that have some kind of feeling of progression. For example, I'm getting into Gloomholdin' at the moment, and the idea of a story continuing between game sessions and leveling up your character as you play the various scenarios is appealing to me.

What other pnp games capture a sense of progression? It doesn't even necessarily have to be a campaign, it could be strong progression within a single session-game where you level up, gain new items/abilities, etc. and start over the next time you play. I'm keen to check out whatever suggestions you have!

Doubled sided card stock pnp protect ?

Made like 70 pnp cards for a game a bit smaller to have more fit on paper not realizing they all got shrunk past what I wanted .. it’s double sided card stock .. anyone have cards last a while for a pnp if I spray it with poly or lacquer or something or is it a lost cause and I need to go through dozen sheets of laminate and cutting etc ?

I had an Ideia... (Final)

Soooooo... That is it, past the last 3 days home (health issues) and tested the resin the most I could. In the last 24h alone, I must've had done at least 2 batches of cubes (a total of 40+). If you guys what, I can post a coment under here to show the different results.

My conclusion: it woths if the cubes are crazy explensive to buy, as it is for me. I'm not gonna say again my situation, the posts are here, here and here. Go there please and check the situation.

Points to consider if you are thinking on doing:

1 - Price - For me makes sense as I can make the colors, quantities and whatever I need on demand.

2 - Brazil people - Comprei esse molde e essa resina na shoope. Valeu muito a pena pra começar. (I'm just saying what I bought, where I bought)

3 - Freedon - I don't need to rely on the color and quantities of cubes sold on the net... I think it worths...

That is it. The jorney was better than the resuts, maybe, but I think this sub is exactally about this. Learning new skills and adapting to our needs. Thanks for the ideas and the tips you guys gave me. Next ideas I have I'll post here for sure...

Irregular size pnp sleeping?

Had to shrink a few dozen cards for a pnp , they’re fairly thick at double side printer card stock but afraid of them getting frayed etc . They’re too small by 5-6 mm for most sleeve sizes , besides lamination anyone have and fix this issue ?

My wife has knitted another amazing "deck-bag" for me! Guess this counts as PnP-ing? 😄 I couldn't be prouder! I'm currently in the final stages of my website and the rules for the PnP release of my little game, and everything should be ready within the next 1-2 weeks. Stay tuned! 😄!

3M 90vs 77 spray?

Is it worth it to try for 90? I’ve been using Loctite but have had some peel but the 77 spray seems to be pretty steadfast .: the 90 is much more expensive but is 77 the best mix for PNP?

How do you guys handle scaling

I'm in the process of making my first pnp and I'm running into an issue of my files printing at varying sizes when printed on different printers. It's important that the pieces for the game are exactly 28mm. Is it possible to get a universal print size for any printer? My best idea so far would be to include a scale so that the player could resize the image to the correct size, but that's difficult for some people to understand how to do that and I'd like to avoid it if possible. I was hoping that someone here might have some knowledge or advice on the topic

Where should I go from here?

I recently entered the hobby of PNP and printed my first group of games. I currently have Quests Over Coffee, Mage Lite, Mini Rogue, and Galdor's Grip. I'm enjoying these for the most part but am curious as to what games I should look into next, both solo and 2p.

For context, here's what I think of what I have so far:

QoC is really funny/cute with the art and simplicity, but I think it's a bit too simplistic and luck-based for my taste. There isn't a whole lot of strategy involved. But I like the game length and still have fun with it.

Mage Lite was hectic to learn, but my first run was pretty enjoyable. I do think it's a bit dense for me currently and the time it takes to get through a game is heavy, but I do really like it so far.

Mini Rogue was fun to run through, but I haven't picked it back up since my first game. It's just a bit too repetitive for me. I'd like to try the 18 card version though.

Galdor's Grip is tied with Mage Lite for my favourite PNP so far. I got my first perfect score today with the base game and it felt great. Definitely loving this one a lot.

Ones I'm already looking into getting next are Dragons of Etchinstone and Sprawlopolis. I would love to hear what recommendations you all have for me to get next.

I'm interested in both solo or 2p recommendations.

Just cut out my Hive pieces!

Printed the pattern found on BGG on a print shop. Glued to 1.5mm card. Back side is a PVC adhesive with wood print. Now I'm thinking on painting the sides with black sharpie, and building a storage box
