Now Playing Roleplaying Game (Fudge) PDF
Carnivore Games

Now Playing lets you roleplay any TV show in any genre. It has everything you need to take your favorite show and begin running whole seasons of episodic adventures that will keep your friends excited the whole way through.

Now Playing tells you how to use TV screenwriting techniques to plan and run your adventures so that they feel like a real show. It tells you how to work with the same pacing as a real show so that your game flows with the same pace and energy as the show you are playing.

The game also includes a complete multi-genre game system with which you can play your shows right away. Based on the Fudge system, Now Playing is a rules-light system that is easy to learn, fast-paced, and places the emphasis on the story and the acting.

You can use Now Playing as a stand-alone roleplaying game, or as an add-on to other fine roleplaying games. You can use the Now Playing techniques with any of the other licensed TV Show RPGs that are out there to make them really feel like the show.

Now Playing includes:

  • A wealth of game mastering advice geared towards planning and running your games the way TV shows are written and run.
  • A fully generic Fudge-based game system. Now Playing is a popular choice for people who love the Fudge engine, but do not want to have to build their own system on the fly.
  • FPI: a paranormal mini-setting that lets you play paranormal thrillers. This even includes an episode guide of Season One that you can use for adventure ideas.
  • Two ready-to-run adventures.

I'm having some trouble with the PDF. It seems like one (or more) of the fonts is not vendored into the PDF - that means it assumes that exists on the reader's machine, which is not necessarily true. As such, a bunch of the subheadings just render as dingbats on my computer.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
