I'd love a printer-friendly stripped down version as well.
The art is nice and the background adds to the feel while reading the PDF, but having to print off 168 pages of it from any machine seems to be a bit excessive.
The printer-friendly version could just contain the rules, maps and characters from Chariots and it would serve just fine for those of who like hardcopies, or have eye problems like
cyrodilicbrandy and myself.
