Macabre Tales rulebook

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Macabre Tales is the dominoes-based RPG of Lovecraftian horror that strips out the "contributions" of later authors and focuses solely on what Lovecraft himself created. Spectrum Games, known for accurate emulation of various genres in their products, offers a brand new take on role-playing in the terrifying and abhorrent world of Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Will you emerge from the experience unscathed? Or will your mind snap in the wake of all the hidden abominations that lurk in the shadows, just out of sight of humankind?

Is the b&w book printed from the printer friendly pdf? I mean, is the background turned off or does it appear in the print copy? I would think it would be tougher to read in b&w with that background.
Thanks!

The background is indeed included in the hardcopy version, though lightened so that it doesn't make the text difficult to read.

My wife gave me a hard copy of Macabre Tales for Christmas. Is there anywhere I can download a digital version of the character sheet?

Not at this moment, though the one in the PDF rulebook can be printed out.

Hi folks,

I've read the blurb and the preview so I know this game focuses on single player and one-shot game.

Assuming the "stars are right" would this game work with a traditional party of investigators in an ongoing campaign?

Thanks

Mike

Hello, Mike.

While the game is focused on one-on-one play, the book does describe how to use it for multiple players. As for support for ongoing campaigns, the game has no rules for advancement, though I'm sure you could whip something up with a few minutes of work.

I hope this helps. :)

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.
