"All of human history has been an occult war between those who would dominate humanity, and those who would liberate it. This war is still going on, hidden in plain sight."

I ignored the comments here about the print quality figuring that by now it may have been resolved. While the PDF is highly legible, the print version is woefully disappointing as the contrast between the typeface and background is too subtle. The silver lining is that I am supporting RPGPundit and his well-executed work, but for now the printed book will remain largely uncracked as I will be using the digital version instead (which is still a bit marred by the lack of searchable text).

I really hope the formatting of this book is fixed some day. It's right up my alley, but I can't use a book that I know will give me eyestrain, or a PDF that isn't readable text.

Went ahead and bought a copy. Nope, still not searchable. The PDF is embedded JPGs with no bookmarks.

The PDF is still broken, no OCR/text-select option. When can we expect this to be fixed?

Any word on a print friendly or more legible version of the PDF? Having a really hard time reading the brown on brown. Also, why are there no bookmarks?

I purchased the POD standard color version of the game.

The game it self meets RPGPundits usual high quality, and is a nice OSR take on modern occult genre.

However, the choice of a dark brownish font on a medium tan background makes the material hard to read. The PDF is easier, so at least I can read the material in that form. However, it lacks a table of contents, making it difficult to navigate.

In short; great game, well researched, but the design choices make it hard to engage with.

On page 84 under ranged weapons there is a double and triple asterisk beside light and heavy crossbow respectively, there is however no explanation. Based on the rules in Lion and Dragon, I'm assuming this refers to loading times and hit bonuses.

As a dabbler into the metaphysical study and a fairly quick scan of the PDF, I have to say this book's research into the occult turned into an RPG is absolutely incredible from initial first impression. The art and style of the book creates a unique "feel" to a gritty and grim secret world right behind the veil! I am quite excited to devour the hardcover when it comes in! If the PDF were just searchable! More comments as I read more of it.

Any timeline on a text searchable and printable version of the PDF?

The brown text on brown background is a terrible, migraine inducing, design choice. I'm shocked by what a beginner's effort this looks like, considering RPGPundit's publishing history.

That being said the game itself is very decent, well researched and I will be attempting to run it.

Why is the PDF *not* OCR/text-selectable?

Because it was not created in that fashion. We're examining our options.

Can someone please *update* it to OCR? That's a pretty standard format in RPG PDFs these days.

There's a typo in the player record sheets; (education backbround). Will this pdf be updated with a table of contents, and searchable text? Lion & dragon seems to have all these things. Thanks.

Thank you. We'll address the typo. As for making the pdf searchable, we're looking into it.

I just received the soft cover black and white book. I am very disappointed with the dark gray words on brown paper that the printer chose to go with. It's legible, but it just looks amatuerish and the words look fuzzy. I've purchased other RpgPundit products in the past and they were easier to read. Black text would have made it easier to read, or white paper. Both would have been preferred.

It was an artistic choice that looked great, but ultimately the printing failed to capture the original images in the fashion we were anticipating.

I've been waiting to purchase the PDF until all the bugs have been worked out. Have we reached that stage yet?

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.
