Private Eye - Basic Roleplaying System

I deduce! - Sherlock Holmes

The great detective appeared in 1887, moved into an apartment in London, and solved the most intricate cases. Well over 100 years later, Private Eye sent role-players on his tracks for the first time.
In the now fourth edition, the hunt again is on for fraudsters and murderers, thieves, burglars, and other major and minor criminals in the city on the Thames River. The time is the last third of the 19th century, the time of Queen Victoria, when London is the centre of the United Kingdom.
Deduce yourself: As a lawyer, journalist, older lady or any other contemporary, you become detectives yourself. Easy to understand, simple rules allow the game to run focusing on the actual role-playing, the storytelling, and the interaction between the players. The comprehensive background section contains the necessary information about the time-period, which comes to life again with descriptions of important buildings and the facts of everyday life: transportation, fashion, and entertainment. The historical techniques and criminological resources available to your detectives investigating the crime scene and the victim are presented in great detail. Perpetrators and representatives of law and justice both get sufficient attention.
After this excursion into Victorian England, the introductory adventure by Martin Lindner invites you to get started in London in 1884: lies and deceit undermine the family life in the pub The King's Head. The first case for the fledgling detectives!

One of my easiest deductive exercises. - Sherlock Holmes

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
