Lightspress Media is a tabletop roleplaying company with a lo-fi approach. The utility of content takes precedence over ostentatious production value. Graphic elements should enhance the message of the text, not act as page filler and eye candy. Physical books need to be compact, portable, and sturdy. This minimalist aesthetic results in powerful toolkits that are both useful and affordable. After all, tabletop roleplaying isn’t the book. It’s the creativity and collaboration that takes place around the tabletop. Our mission is to give you as much as you need, then get out of your way.

This special bundle product contains the following titles.

Building Adventures is an essential toolkit for all tabletop roleplayers, gamemasters, and game designers. There is a way to create engaging stories and scenarios without requiring the gamemaster to prep for every possibility without railroading players into a limited number of actions. It begins with setting a compelling adventure goal, then allowing players to pursue that goal their way. This book is system-neutral, meaning it works with any tabletop roleplaying game. The examples are generic and high-level, allowing you to adapt and apply them to the system of your choice. We recommend that you read through the entire book at least once to become familiar with the contents, the flow of things, and the context for various ideas. You can then go back to individual sections as needed. T...

Building Characters 4th Edition is now available here! Building Characters is a system-neutral toolkit for creating memorable tabletop roleplaying characters. It’s designed to work with any rules, settings, and genres. The purpose of this book is to make you think about all of the elements that go into a character. The goal is to spark ideas on how to roleplay them, understand the way they fit into the game world, and better imagine the sorts of adventures that they might go on. You do not need to use everything in this book, but leverage whatever makes sense for your character, the setting, and the overall campaign. This book includes: Background: The fundamentals of creating a character. Naming them. Describe their physical appearance. Determine the role they fill in game terms. Wor...

Regular price: $3.00

Building Worlds 4th Edition is now available here! The term worldbuilding gets thrown around frequently by tabletop roleplayers. It is what we call the process of constructing a fantasy realm or even an entire fictional universe. There are maps and ecologies and complex histories involved, with all sorts of curious little details sprinkled in. While we presumably create these worlds to provide a grand stage for an ongoing campaign, the act of worldbuilding is often an end unto itself. It’s a creative outlet, even if it never gets used in a game, and one that’s a whole lot of fun. When you’ve got time for that, great; there is no wrong way to engage in that sort of worldbuilding. One of the fundamental challenges gamemasters face, though, is preparation time. There’s never enough of it...

hi Berin, will the Director's Cut versions be added to the files, or will they replace the existing files?

Director's Cut versions will all be pushed as updates, so if you already own them you won't need to re-purchase the new edition.

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.
