Alternate Magic (OSR)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
ALTERNATE MAGIC is a collection of mechanics for old school and OSR systems.
 
If you like "Basic" games and its clones (Old School Essentials, Basic Fantasy RPG, Labyrinth Lord, etc.), or even other OSR games, and want to expand magic options, you'll certainly enjoy this one!
 
This book is compatible with Dark Fantasy Basic, including a specific chapter on conversions. Some ideas can serve as inspiration for any RPG system, but we assume you're familiar with old school or OSR games.
 
In these pages, you'll find:
- New spellcasting classes;
- Flexible spells, suited for any spell level.
- Blood magic, random magic, and spell points.
- Cantrips and rituals.
- Alternatives for the cleric class
- ...and many other tools.
 
The book is entirely modular! Each chapter can be used by itself or in combination with other chapters. For example, you might use blood magic with the traditional spellcasting system or combine it with flexible magic. You can use random magic with spell points or cantrips, or by itself. You might use the new classes without changing anything else in your game.

Heyo, I'm happy to see you're using some of my stock art. But per my license you're supposed to provide me with a PDF copy.

It's the last bullet point in my license:
"You must provide a PDF copy of any title using my images. My DriveThruRPG email is jchart01@yahoo (you can also ask general questions here)."

I've not really attempted to enforce this until now and I'm noticing lots of folks are not sending me PDFs. LoL. Is this too onerous a request or are people just too busy to send the links? No animous is intended here, I'm genuinely curious. I need the sales more than I need the PDFs, but I just like to see how my customers are using my stuff. It gives me a feeling for what sort of work is selling and what the appeal is in various genres.

Hi Jeremy!

I guess had just missed this part - is not something usual AFAICT but it is not onerous either!

Sure, I will send you a copy!

BTW, we are connected through social media, better to get in touch there since DTRPG messages are easy to miss.

Hey David! Thank you for the interest! I'll look into it, but I'm not sure; the book is not currently formatted for print and POD prices are going up in July, according to DTRPG.

In any case, if I manage to do a print version I'll mention it in my blog and send an e-mail to people who bought the PDF with a discount coupon.

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.
