Ptolus Sketchbook vol. 4: Oldtown

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Ptolus Sketchbook line is a great resource for players and DMs to "see" more of the City by the Spire. Created by the artists who set the architectural tone for the Ptolus book, every sketchbook focuses on a different district. Together they expand Ptolus with illustrations of buildings not pictured in the core book.

What's in a Ptolus Sketchbook?

-Building illustrations inspired by Monte's descriptions.

- Illustrations of details which could be found in the featured buildings (signs, furniture, typical items).

- Blank handouts of letters, advertisements, etc. which can be easily customized to your needs.

Every Ptolus Sketchbook from The Forge Studios consists of two parts. The first one is stylized and consists of illustrations made on a parchment background.

The second part is a set of black and white illustrations which can be easily printed or presented to players during a session, in order to enrich the locale's description and create a more precise presentation.

Ptolus Sketchbook vol. 4:Oldtown is the fourth part of a series illustrating Monte Cook's City by the Spire. The supplement focuses on the oldest part of the city.

Another great sketchbook. Whether you are a Ptolus fanatic or a DM of any fantasy city out there, you can give it a try. All the art will be usable, one way or another, and will add great flavor to your games. Highly recommended. [...]

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.
