The Algernon Files 2.0

For the HERO System Fifth Edition

"The Algernon Files" is a collection of characters, some friends, some most definitely enemies, that can be thrown into practically any supers' campaign that's even remotely four-color. It captures a degree of modern sensibility in its character design, while keeping the silver and bronze age spirit. Face off against the likes of the supergenius Prometheus, or an ancient god made flesh in the form of The Serpent Queen; decide whose side Hell's Belles are really on, or trade blows with the mighty Magog -- and if you feel a little overwhelmed by all the hostile attention, relax by visiting Fortress, expansive HQ for potential allies The Sentinels (Tours of the museum and vendor areas are 2-5 PM, weekdays only, thank you), the third team to carry on the legacy of their name.

The HERO edition of the Algernon Files is a fantastically produced book. I like that the characters have their own pages, rather than one charatcter finishing on the same page that the next character begins. This makes printing out the idividual charac [...]

Asking for originality from a four-color superhero campaign setting is not always wise. What Algernon Files does, and does very well, is present a playable and effective set of characters and setting ideas that are meldable very easily into existing Ch [...]

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.
