I want to print the in-game letters found in the book to give to my players. Does anyone know to print them? The ereader version only offers a picture viewer style. Thanks in advance.
They are all image files (mostly .png) that you can download and print.
To get the best resolution image, left-click on the handout you wish to print (it will expand on the page as a preview) and then right-click on the expanded handout and select "save as" or "save image as" (depends on your browser).
Your browser will download the image to your computer and you can open it and print it from there.
The quality of the handouts seems rather bad for printing, especially as they do not expand, as described by @Stormknight, when you left click. They simply stay in the low onscreen resolution. The same holds true with many of the maps, making it very hard to game with. Is this intentional or just an error of sorts?
Man, I totally agree! really bad/unusable. I had to rewrite them all and print them from a word document onto paper i bought from amazon that looks like old parchment. I then rolled the "letters" and seal them with an actual wax seal and stamp. a little work but it was great to give it out.
Maybe they forgot to link to the higher resolution versions of the images and just relinked the same ones. But meanwhile I'll probably have to do what you did. :(
"Orcs are savage raiders and pillagers with stooped postures, low foreheads, and piggish faces with prominent lower canines that resemble tusks." MM p245 (original printing) You don't OWN your books on DDB: WotC can change them any time. What do you think will happen when OneD&D comes out?
Hi mjsoctober, thanks. I knew the official handouts, sadly they are black and white and I would really have liked to give my players something in color. I'm almost done reworking this myself now, so whatever. But I am a bit vexed, that DND Beyond is not offering us better resolution for something important like player handouts.
@staroc, I would disagree, I don't think the intention for DDB was to ever be anything but a digital option, not for printing at high-res. I think their model assumes people are playing online, and the handouts will be shared digitally.
That said, you can try a google image search.

Hi mjsoctober. It's alright, although even if they are just meant to be digital the small resolution makes them very hard to read (the cursive doesn't help here).
I was just iffed that Stormknight seemed to imply there are bigger resolution version of the handouts available (quote), which would have been really useful and not a hard thing to supply:
Stormknight: "To get the best resolution image, left-click on the handout you wish to print (it will expand on the page as a preview) and then right-click on the expanded handout and select "save as" or "save image as" (depends on your browser)."
Staroc, I can see the confusion, but it is likely Stormknight meant the best resolution of what's available on DDB. I know, splitting hairs.
In my google searches it does not appear that WotC ever released a higher-res colour version of the handouts. It is possible they didn't provide them to DDB either, but even if they did, DDB/Curse needs to consider file sizes since the push is for using DDB on mobile devices. If the image were high enough resolution to allow decent printing, you're looking at a file size of a couple MB at least.
As for the handwriting font, that's on WotC, not DDB.

I was the original poster of this question about printing out the handouts and have been following the comments since.
Just wanted to follow up with everyone that I ended up having to recopy the handouts in a word document and matching up fonts the best I could. Then I printed them on old style paper from Amazon and was seal for effect. More work for sure but well worth it.

D&D Beyond FoundersHi there vvgsam,
the handouts are all found here.
They are all image files (mostly .png) that you can download and print.
To get the best resolution image, left-click on the handout you wish to print (it will expand on the page as a preview) and then right-click on the expanded handout and select "save as" or "save image as" (depends on your browser).
Your browser will download the image to your computer and you can open it and print it from there.

The Curse of Strahd handouts are all available for free from the Wizards of the Coast web site as a PDF here: http://media.wizards.com/2016/downloads/DND/CoS_Handouts.pdf

Hi vvgsam
Any chance you could share your work with us other lazy DMs that are looking to do the exact same thing? :)
I had the cardstock and colour printer ready to go and when i saw the images outside of the website i was severely disappointed.
