Important rules are missing, unnecessarily confusing terms are used, and some key words are switched or misused. Which is all too bad, because the system itself seems like it would be a lot of fun! The price is also far too high for such an amateurish pr [...]

It took me a long time for me to decide on buying Bare Bones Multiverse or not, mostly due to the (initially) steep price tag. I finally bought it, after much considering and taking advantage of a current promotion, but it was a bit of a letdown when I fi [...]

A fast and easy RPG system, very rules light. If you look for something you can use as a beer and pretzels game, go for it. BBM uses 2d6 for task resolution and give a lot of genre specific advice in the dedicated chapters. Depending on setting the GM [...]

This is a flexible and fast game engine. If you are looking for a regular campaign or just a system for a pick up game this system is great for that. Included are the rules for play as well as genre specific rules for various settings. Action movies, [...]

“Wide open” that’s how’d I describe it. If you can imagine a character concept, you can play it. If you can describe a combat maneuver, you can do it, and I mean from character creation. This game is mad, brilliant fun to play and the rules are su [...]

Format
Original electronic
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.
