RUN A COMPLETE FANTASY CAMPAIGN WITH THIS VERSATILE TABLETOP GAME OF HEROIC FANTASY ADVENTURE!

Stoic rangers track their prey across the unkempt wilderness. Shining knights with sword and lance charge heroically at their foes. Weathered watchmen investigate a murder in a scummy tavern. Masters of the dark arts bring the dead back to life. Ernest clerics turn back vampires in deep, unholy crypts. Mighty warriors battle ice dragons in the arctic wastes. Pale alchemists mix complex ingredients for their latest concoctions.

Play a brave knight, a cunning burglar, a serene warrior-monk, or a brilliant firemage. Are you a wild berserker, a deadly assassin, or a swashbuckling musketeer? Dozens of fantasy careers await you!

Features the innovative freeform magic system based on Elements of Magic - weave new and unique spells on the go by combining magical skills and secrets!

Apparently no discount if you purchased the previous version of the game book in print.

That's my thought as well....I bought this awhile back along with the Sci-Fi book in Hardcover+Pdf but no way am I dishing out for it again just for minor updates and some pictures added in.

Hello, i have all 3 corebooks in PDF. Is it possible to have a discount pod offer to buy all 3 books for less than 150 dollars which seem a lot as i already have the PDF ?

Thanks.

Is there a discount for those who bought v1.0 pods, to upgrade to v1.2? I have the v1.0's in O.L.D. & N.E.W.

what size does the book have? I bought the softcover version on another store but it is illegible because the fonts are too small. I hope the hardcover version is an A4

Print versions on DTRPG typically take 1-2 weeks after the PDF to go through their file approval process and proofing.

O.L.D. v1.2 is here! If you purchased O.L.D. from DriveThruRPG, check your emails (assuming your email settings there allow for notifications of updates). Print versions will be in a couple of weeks.

For people who bought the print versions of the previous version is there a possible chance of a discount for v1.2 in print?

Thanks for that, but I have couple of issues: Most Shields are still far too heavy, and what happened to the price of Gauntlets; I realise that some needed their prices altering some but.......a pair of Cloth Gauntlets now costs the same as a Cutlass!!?

Some of the weapons are also still too heavy.....even D&D has managed to use more realistic weights these days.

I've only had time to so far get to comparing the latest version with the previous up to current page 121, so there may be other issues I notice when I have time to carry on the comparison.

I just attempted to re-download the PDF to get the latest update (v1.2) is that not available here? I was under the impression that it would be provided free here if you already bought v1.1.

If I understand your question correctly, that is the number of ranks you have placed in the skill.

So what's the point of listing the skills if they don't do anything? How do you add them to your dice pool?

Forming a dice pool can be found on pages 119-120 (in v1.1).

I've never played a trpg before so I randomly picked one and ended up buying the pdf and I'm glad I did its good but where's the rules for all the skills?

Skills are merely keywords/tags. They don’t do anything in their own right, they just form part of your dice pool which is attribute + skill + equipment. The only exceptions are those few called out in the Derived Statistics section.

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.
