Close Encounters of the Sartar Kind

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Encounter charts are a great way to add some element of randomness into a campaign. They help maintain the illusion that the world doesn’t revolve around the adventurers, but has a life of its own. Sometime, a random encounter might even become a regular character in a campaign, as an ally, or as a recuring enemy. 

Close Encounters of the Sartar Kind is an 11 pages supplement for RuneQuest Roleplaying in Glorantha, which has tables and rules needed to run random encounters for 11 types of terrain in Sartar.

PURCHASER
Read the description - this is a book of encounter tables by type of terrain that will tell you:

a) What you encounter (d100 per terrain type)
b) How close they are (d20)
c) A reaction table (d20 for each encounter type which is mostly sensible in that not everything you encounter will suicidally attack you).
d) How many of them you encounter (d whatever)
e) A reference to the Glorantha Bestiary page number
f) The perception and stealth ratings for the encounter which gives you and them the option to ignore the encounter, sneak away or whatever.

And that is it - no stat blocks as RQ stat blocks being what they are that would make it a much bigger and more expensive book.

(Plus being almost statless it is equally useful for RQ, 13th Age and HQ/QW Glorantha).

And for what it is it is well worth your $1.77.

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.
