Campaign Play - customs, manners, and weapons change during teh phases of Arthur's long reign. Over these years your character-knight begets a family whose reputation depends on the glory he achieves. He passes his hard-won inheritance and grudges to his sons. Up to four generations of knights will live and die during Arthur's reign.

Game System - Easily remembered, simple-to-play mechanics feature a single die roll to determine combat, to settle personality encounters, and to resolve skill use.

This isn't in reviews because reviews should cover the game itself, not its presentation.

The map in the PDF is unusable, as there are significant gaps between the sections of the maps. I had to download a copy from Greg Stafford's Pendragon website to replace it. There were two other issues that caught my eye. The first were two pages worth of the pre-generated characters being upside down in the PDF. The second was the back covers of everything immediately following the front covers. Thus, the box top is followed by the box bottom, the back cover of the players book immediately follows the front cover of that same book, and the back cover of the gamemaster's book follows the front of that book.

I understand that there are time constraints involved in digitizing game books, but how much effort would it take to actually have the back covers at the back of the book they are attached to? Why was the map split apart in such a way that gaps exist between the sections? Better yet, why wasn't...See more

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.
