The Black Desert Primer

ADD TO WISHLIST >

What will the future be like? More importantly, what can it be like? Scientists today tell us that in the vacuum of space, there will be no gripping dog-fights of agile fighters, no faster-than-light travel, and no majestic cities floating unsupported. Most science fiction includes these impossibilities, and those of use who love the stories of space and other planets have had to content ourselves with the knowledge that they will never come to pass.
The Black Desert is different. While I have no doubt that none of the fantastic things that will be described below will actually come true, they could. This role-playing game is designed to offer a plausible, exciting and ultimately heroic setting for fans of science fiction to explore the possibilities of real space flight and exploration.
I hope you enjoy.

A fun and useful setting gazetteer for a really interesting Hard Sci-Fi space setting. In that relatively niche category of RPG supplements this is one of my favorites, as so many of the ideas that are featured in the setting are really easy to expand [...]

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.
