Of Friends and Foes...

Tiring of the blandness of empires in the VBAM Campaign System? Not any more! The Menagerie provides a custom race design system that allows players to create their own, unique empires, selecting from a combination of over one hundred racial traits and nearly a dozen government types. The number of trait/government combination make it so that no two empires are exactly alike.

In addition to the custom race design system, The Menagerie also includes a group of thirteen sample custom races. Each of these pre-generated races comes with its own force list, which is compatible with those found in the VBAM Campaign Guide! Yes, that means you can play with these races "right out of the box" with no additional setup required. A random race generator is also included, which will allow CMs to quickly and easily generate new custom races on the fly -- perfect for those playing in Exploration campaigns with NPEs!

SPECIAL BONUS! - As a special bonus, The Menagerie electronic release is accompanied with a 20-page bonus supplement that provides "Lost Traits" (four that we pulled for lack of space), and sample custom races for the races from the VBAM Campaign Guide, The Wars of the Boltians and Kuissians, and The Escalation Wars: Empire Rising. This content is not included in the print version of the book!

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.
