0one's Blueprints Backdrops: The Tower of Janazar

ADD TO WISHLIST >
On the north side of Lord's Promenade, positioned arrogantly behind a massive iron gate monogrammed with an oversized gilded 'J' stands Janzar's Tower.

The diameter of a small house, it clears a full three-stories, with a taller spire that dwarfs the surrounding courtyard trees. The carved quartzite facade depicts thick serpentine coils in braided patterns that helix along its perimeter. Flakes of minerals deposited in the stone make the tower glisten during the day, and at night, they catch light from lanterns and streetlamps bathing the tower in an eerie yellow glow.

In stark contrast to the glittering tower, the building serving as its foundation seems strangely out of place. A large austere structure, its rough gray granite walls supported by heavy fluted columns give it a somber appearance, not unlike a mausoleum.

Welcome to Blueprints Backdrops!
This new set of products is based on Øone's popular Blueprints. In Blueprints Backdrops, you will find a fully developed version of one of the locations from the Blueprints line. The Backdrop features a complete description of the location, and its NPCs and monsters (if any), penned by one of our talented writers, and portrayed by skillful artists. You also get a simpler version of the map found in Blueprints and a complete detailed 3D map of the location. The 3D view will help you to visualize the area and better describe it to your players. You can even show it to them, if you wish.

The product is suitable for use with any fantasy RPG system. We have separated the d20 stats from the main text, allowing you to print out either a generic description or a fully d20-statted version.

But the good stuff is just beginning.

This product takes full advantage of PDF technology, joining old-fashioned style with the most advanced electronic features.

Using the exclusive 'Rule the Dungeon©' feature (look for a big, blue-n-white button; don't worry, it won't print) you will be able to fully customize this product. The 3D map can be changed to show only one floor (for example), with or without walls (for another), with or without furniture, only an external view, and on and on, with many combinations possible!

This product has also been designed to help busy referees prepare adventures or even single encounters. Instead of spending extra time scaling the encounters to your party, the d20 stats are scaled in three different versions suitable for low, mid, and high levels of play, using a 'Rule the Dungeon©' button.

This button lets you choose which level to play, and all the relevant text will change accordingly: monsters will scale, DCs and traps will change, behaviors of the villains will change, all according to the level of play you choose.

Note: The original map of the Janazar Tower appears in Øone's Blueprints: The Great City, Residence Ward

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.
