See Page XX, Vol 1: The First 24 Columns

ADD TO WISHLIST >

See Page XX is an irregular column written by Robin D Laws for Pelgrane Press Ltd. This collection brings together the first twenty four column.

As a publisher, my reason for asking Robin D Laws to create See Page XX column was as a way of bring traffic to the Pelgrane Press website. As a GM and rpg enthusiast, it was like having my own expert on tap to write about any rpg issues to which I wanted an answer. I hoped that my questions matched the expectations of our readership. I know that his answers met mine.

The columns are amazingly innovative, sometimes bringing in to the light techniques many GMs use without having a name for them, sometimes putting forward brand new ideas. They only dwell in theory as much as is required to highlight practical techniques.

There is advice for designing games, researching and planning games, running games, improvising, commentary on the rpgs and their relationshop to other media.

We also include two internal design documents for the GUMSHOE system which are invaluable aids to creating GUMSHOE background settings and The Esoterrorists.

These columns are frequently funny, occasionally controversial, but always entertaining. So when you next find a See Page XX, you'll know where to turn.

When I first read Laws' essays years ago, I resisted many of his conclusions. He seemed to be framing a lot of the principles behind RPG game mechanics as the result of widespread pathologies within gamers themselves. This felt judgmental and mean-spir [...]

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.
