WIZARDS' WORLD (Original 1983)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Back in 1983 a small Californian game company, Fantasy Worlds Unlimited, released WIZARDS' WORLD, a fantasy RPG. The result of how the author's home game evolved, WIZARDS' WORLD included several innovations for its time, not unlike other efforts from the 80s, such as The Complete Warlock or The Palladium Fantasy RPG. WIZARDS' WORLD is an important game in the history of fantasy RPGs, because it reflects the design enthusiasm of the early 80s and is an interesting example of how many people at this time were taking inspiration from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. In many ways WIZARDS' WORLD might be what Second Edition could look like in an alternate universe.

Play a demon halfling, a metamorphic dwarf, or a vampire!

Would you consider not putting the PDF into a ZIP file? There's really no point these days and it is just one bummer extra step.

Thanks. :)

I second that. It have been annoying with other GG games too when I want them on my Android phone.

Actually the zip file is best option for DTRPG downloads. It means your PDF file copies are completely deterministic with the publisher's original. Without the zip container DTRPG's download system changes the PDF's with every download into a unique copy. If you've ever tried to determine if you have duplicates or new/old versions of products on a file system you would welcome the zip provided authoritative copies. Run a checksum on the same products to see what I mean.

Does this game use the Pacesetter system? Or is it its own thing?

It is its own thing. Basically what AD&D 2e might have been in an alternate universe!

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.
