PLEASE NOTE: the prop documents are provided as Acrobat PDFs, and are intended to be modified only within Acrobat using form fields. Due to the large number of third-party proprietary fonts and embedded images in the documents themselves, and the innumerable permutations of system software, design applications, etc., attempting to open the documents outside of Acrobat leads to unexpected and usually deleterious results. Many of the props have customizable form fields built in, but some of the props are not intended for modification. The prop newspaper clipping, for example, cannot be edited using form fields. The PDFs are password-protected and cannot be opened in Photoshop, Illustrator, or any program other than Adobe Acrobat.

Excellent Props

These PDFs are absolutely amazing. I'd give more stars, if I could.

Pro: The amount of detail that each contains (especially with the passports and the university course book) is astounding, as there are little details that are include that could have easily been omitted. The variety of materials is also great, from major items (like the various driver's licenses and transportation tickets) to smaller, everyday things (like ID cards and bus transfer slips).

Con: A lot of the smaller items are solo on a single sheet, meaning that a lot of paper will be wasted. I would love for some of the cards to be framed in such a way that more than one copy can be produced on a single sheet. I also would love to simply flip the page over and print the backside on the same sheet of paper, rather than having to fold and glue front-and-back together. My biggest issue, however, is with the newspaper, as it's not possible to print without a large-size printer (at least, legibly). If I could print in sections, then I could glue or tape sheets together, but as-is, I need to come up with a "Plan B."

All the same, I still think that this is a phenomenal set. I have the other PDF sets that the Society sells, and I'm eagerly awaiting any new ones that might come down the way. Definitely recommended!

Some of the best props I’ve seen

I got this pack to liven up our game, and I gotta say, they are above exceptional. The quality is incredible and with a little effort I managed to make them look almost authentic. I’ve had so mich fun owrking on them, I sorta wanna just make them all just for myself! A must have if you want your games on the next level.
