ROLF: The Rollplaying Game -- Old Skool!

ADD TO WISHLIST >

BACK FROM THE PAST TO HAUNT THE PRESENT....

Once upon a time, there were things things called newsgroups. They were kinda-sorta like Facebook and message forums, only without pictures and with even more rude people. They existed in the days when there were only four television networks and your parents had to walk up hill to and from school. AND THEY LIKED IT!

In some of these newsgroups, gamers, wanna-be game designers, and even honest-to-god real professional game designers would post rules and monsters and musings and writings of  all sorts for their favorite games. Sometimes, entire game systems would appear.  

Back in those ancient times in the summer of 1995, the first version of ROLF! was posted to one of those fabled newsgroups... rec.games.frp.misc.

Now, unearthed from the deepest recesses of the Interwebs--proving that whatever is on the web really is there forever--and converted to PDF, we proudly presents that historic game for your enjoyment.

(Supplements for the current edition of ROLF! are more or less compatible with this hoary original iteration, although some rules have changed... for the better, we like to think!)

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.
