Ability Score

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Ability Score is a generic RPG system based on the classic Dungeons & Dragons ability scores. It simplifies characters down to a few stats and uses a simple resolution mechanic similar to that of Apocalypse World, Dungeon World, and their ilk.

This system includes ability scores for several different genres: classic epic fantasy, science fiction, survival horror, and superheroes.

And it all fits on one page.

A good way to make a rpg, as many of the games following D&D did actually use the attributes as the main, or only mechanic. Though you will have to do a lot more arbitration than voluminous sets that spell out every minor detail in microscopic deta [...]

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.
