This game is more fun that in ought to be. Set in an alternate Earth (well, 13 of them to be precise), characters take on the roles of Nearsiders, superheroes who have suffered loss. The fact that the game takes place in 2007 may not have been impressive when it came out the same year, but a decade later, the game allows for a fun romp through nostalgia-filled playlists and jokes, from Fergie to Staples Easy Buttons and more.

The mechanics are simple, but fun, lending themselves to moments of sheer awesomeness. It's not described as a supers game, but plays more elegantly than most that do. There are lots of potential to tell stories in this world, though the built-in mission explores only a thin vein of them. This is the most fun my table has had in a long time, and I don't see a future (and certainly not 13!) where it doesn't come out again.

Some proofreading and binding issues exist, but those are small blemishes on a great product. The fiction on the website is also immersive.

I begin to doubt that the author is reading our questions.

I've bought the POD book, but would like the pdf as well. Is it really true, that I have to pay extra to get the pdf-version?

I bought this book once before. Did they update it or something because I dont have the usual 'Download This Book' tab I have for stuff I have purchased before.

Excellent product, in case anyone is concidering it. I didnt do anything with the system, Ive learned enough systems... cant be bothered to figure out another one, but for a catalog of alternate earth ideas, it is badass. Well worth the purchase price.

Excellsior.

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.
