Parahuman Podcast: Character concept

Parahuman Podcast: Character concept

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Parahumans have always been with us, though we haven't always noticed them. In the ancient times we revered them as gods or demigods. In more recent times, we view them as celebrities.

Parascientists classify parahumans into several rough groups. The exact cause or mechanism by which one becomes a parahuman is unknown, with a few exceptions. What makes one person able to shoot lightning from his fingertips or bounce bullets off of her chest while most people go through their lives never experiencing such abilities? This random factor is known as the Parahuman Uncertainty Factor or P-Factor for short. What follows is a description of the various parahuman categories, though certainly some blurring occurs.

This week, my Mutants & Masterminds group got together to do a little character conceptualizing for the new Parahuman campaign. And we decided to record it.

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.
