Testimonials 

"Portraits is a great tool for DM's that can be picked up and absorbed in a single night, ready to be used for a quick game ... it's hard to not recommend the supplement for the price." -- Paul Vogt, Eye of the Vortex eZine 

 "This I dig. This is the sort of crazy experiment I can get behind... I give it a thumb's up, and look forward to seeing more entries in the Portrait of a Villain series, as well as whatever else Nevermet Press has up their sleeves." -- Berin Kinsman, Unclebear.com

"This is an excellent product that fills a strange niche. If you're looking for a new city to add to your campaign world, want a few encounters, or just want to loot several NPCs, you'll find much to like." -- Scott Martin, Gnomestew.com 

"[The] book covers a lot of ground with different types of material, that's definitely a strength, as it allows it to provide diversity in content." -- Brandan Landgraff, d20Source.com 

"I’ll say, this piece is versatile. There’s a lot of material, packed into a short, 57-page packet. The layout is beautiful, and you’ll find something for your game." -- David Hill, Altern8.com 

"Just bought The Desire, it really is excellent. Reminds me of the pattern used in 3.5's Exemplars of Evil about villains. 5/5" -- @DM_Khalas via Twitter

This was an interesting idea for a supplement, but the subject matter is heavier and more 'adult' than any group I've had to play with, so I don't think there's much in here that I could salvage for my own campaign. The history [...]

Let me tell you first, this is a very good book. As the first in the Portrait of a Villain serie, we already see that Nevermet Press is starting a bomb of a product line. Portrait of a Villain is more than your run-of-the-mill compilations. It i [...]

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.
